How To: Make a fondant/gum paste anemone

In order to make an Anemone with Fondant/Gum Paste, you will need the following: fondant, a rolling pin, tweezers, luster dust, a sponge, gum paste, glue, a roller, a small round cutter, and paint brushes. Roll out white fondant until it is really thin. It should be nearly see through. Use the cutter to cut out 13 circles. Drag the roller around the edges of the circles to make petals. If it makes it easier, you can do this on your sponge. Allow the petals to dry for 2-6 hours. Paint the edges of the petals with gum paste. Attach them, one at a time to one petal, overlapping them. Continue working around it, until you have run out of petals. Use the luster dust on the visible parts of the flower. Place one round piece of fondant in the center, attaching it with glue. Press a hole in the center with your roller. Make demarcations in it, using your tweezers. Insert spikes into the black fondant.
