How To: Make molded rose cake decorations

This tutorial shows how to make tiny molded roses and leaves that you could put on cupcakes. To start you only need a few ingredients: icing sugar, water, paste coloring, fondant icing sugar, and a piping bag (optional). Mix all ingredients together, then put them in a bag so they stay soft. Make the color of the rose or petals any color you want. Knead the dough so that you will have the color you would like. Next, break off a piece of the kneaded dough and form it into a cone shape. Break off another small piece of dough and flatten it out so it looks like a tear drop. Get the curve very thin and wrap it around the cone; repeat this step until you get a rose shape. Then, pinch the base of the flower and cut to remove the small rose top from the cone base.
