Here is a video tutorial on how to make a ribbon rose. As you can see CakeJournal is now on youtube. I am just testing this so please abstract for the poor picture and sound quality πŸ™‚ I would though really love your feedback. Is this something you would like to see more of?

Happy Caking!

    Emma: it happens when the paste is to thick/dry. Try and make them with 50/50 gum paste & rolled fondant

    Hi Louise,
    Great tutorial! I love these little roses! However, mine seem to get a little cracked on top, where it’s been rolled – do you know why this might happen?

    Bridget: Depending on what decorations I am making I use mostly: Rolled fondant and gumpaste.

    Thanks so much–for all of the information you share! I had wondered, too, what you used (straight fondant or gumpaste), so a little info in the sidebar would be useful.

    Hi Sophie,

    I think for this one I use rolled fondant. I usually dont add Tylo powder to ribbon roses. I used a leaf cutter.

    Were these made with just mmf? or did you add anything to make them harder? Also do you use molds for the leaves?
