How to Make a Sugar Rose for Decorating Your Cake?

February 15, 2023 by CJ [email protected] 114 Comments

Learn how to make a sugar rose out of gum paste with this rose tutorial. I use one or two sizes of petal cutters when making sugar roses. The sizes of cutters generally depend on the size of the “rose” cones that I am making. The more petals you add, the fuller it will get. It looks really pretty when big roses and rosebuds are mixed together on a cake.

What You Need to Make a Sugar Rose?

What You Need to Make a Sugar Rose:
  • Flower paste/gum paste;
  • Gel paste colors;
  • Corn starch;
  • Styrofoam or cake dummie;
  • Flower foam pad (Orchard products);
  • Dogbone tool or ball tool;
  • Small spatula;
  • Tylo glue;
  • Small brushes;
  • Toothpicks;
  • Rolling pin;
  • Non-stick board;
  • 7 tablespoons;
  • Rose petal cutters in various sizes;
  • Rose leaf cutters in various sizes;
  • Leaf Weiner (optional);
  • Calyx cutters in various sizes;
  • A small plastic bag;
  • White vegetable fat;
  • Edible petal dust.

Step-By-Step Tutorial

guide how to create sugar rose

Step 1:

You will need to make a cone (No. 1 in the picture) for each sugar rose you are making. It is a good idea to start making the cones a day or two ahead. Remember that the cones should be a little bit smaller than the size of the petal cutter you will be using. Stick a toothpick in the bottom of the cone and set it aside on the styrofoam/cake dummies to dry completely.

The next step is to roll out your flower paste/gum paste thinly and cut out three rose petals. Use your dog bone tool on the flower foam pad and carefully thin the edge of the rose petals so they get slightly frilly. Put two of the rose petals in a plastic bag to prevent them from drying out. Brush the cone with Tylo glue and wrap one rose petal tight around it, so that the pointed end of the rose cone is covered (No. 2 in the picture).
TIP: Use this as a closed rosebud.

Brush with Tylo glue once again and take the two last petals from the plastic bag. Wrap them around the cone so they slightly overlap each other (No. 3 in the picture). Arrange the rose petals and make “movements” with your fingers and leave them to dry for about 30 minutes or more before you add more rose petals.
TIP: Use this as an open rosebud!

Cut out three more rose petals, just like the ones you made, to begin with. Brush the rose petals lightly with Tylo glue and arrange the next three rose petals, again overlapping the petals (No. 4 in the picture) Again make “movements” with your fingers and leave your small sugar rose to dry completely.
TIP: Use this as a small rose.

Step 2:

If you want a larger sugar rose, do as follows: Roll out your flower paste/gum paste thinly, this time cut out five rose petals with the next size of cutter. Use your dog bone tool on all five petals, as in step 1. Take five tablespoons and dust them with a little cornstarch (this will prevent the rose petals from sticking to the tbsp).

Put the rose petals on the teaspoons and let the petals go over the top of the edge of the spoons (as shown in the picture). Let the rose petals dry in the spoons for around 15-20 minutes. Then brush the lower half of the petals with Tylo glue and arrange the petals around the rose, so that they overlap each other. Set the rose aside to dry completely.

If you want an even bigger sugar rose, cut out seven more rose petals and put them in the tablespoons. Since the rose is getting rather big now you need to carefully turn the rose upside down for the last rose petals. Attach the rose petals with Tylo glue-like previously. Let the big sugar rose dry completely.
TIP: Use a piece of foam to place the rose on, to prevent it from breaking.

Step 3:

When your rose is dry, roll out some green flower paste/gum paste and cut out a calyx that fits the rose. Brush the calyx with Tylo glue and attach it to the bottom of the rose. When making small sugar rosebuds, put a small ball of green flower paste/gum paste on the rosebuds after the calyx as well.
TIP: Apply dry edible petal powders with a soft brush to your roses, for great-looking effects.

Note: Remember to remove any toothpicks when placing the roses on the cake.

    Could you please tell me how to remove the toothpick after the rose dries out? I tried doing that and ended up breaking the flower. I have heard that people usually use the toothpick to insert the rose into the fondant cake. After taking out the rose how do you attach the rose to the cake ?

      Normally I don’t have that problem when I need to remove the toothpick. I simply just gently twist the toothpick until it release. If I need to place the rose on the side of the cake I use a toothpick or it won’t hold up. If it’s on the top of the cake a dot of royal icing use to be enough.

    Hi Louise, just stumbled across your site, it’s amazing. I am trying to make a sugar Christmas decoration. Every year instead of gifts my husband and I make each other a Christmas decoration out of the material for the corresponding wedding anniversary, paper, leather, cotton etc. This year it is sugar. I was just wondering how long they would last. We don’t ever want to eat them but really don’t want them to go mouldy as we want to hang them on the tree every year. Any ideas for a sugar receipe that will last? Really appreciate your help x x

    Ayla: If you use gumpaste when making the rose. The petals will hold up the shape.

    Debs: I would place them in flower picks or in drinking straws that have been filled with RI. If the cake is a firm cake it will hold the roses better if they are big and cascading down the side of the cake.

    Annie: It depends on what type of cutters you are looking for. But a set of rose petals, rose leaf and a mix of small 5 petal cutters is good to start out with.

    Rosie: If they are on wires you can put them into drinking straws that are filled with royal icing.

    baha: well when using gum paste or tylo powder with your fondant it harden up the flowers so it is not nice to eat. But it will hold the shape of the flowers so nicely.

    If you only add a little amount of tylo powder or mix a little gum paste with your normal fondant you can make flowers there dont get as hard as the ones with a lot of tylo or gum paste. note that when making roses you want to make sure that the petals holds their shape. this will be more difficult if not using gum paste/tylo powder.

    Pls write if you still have more questions. Thank you!

    jean: To tell you the truth, it has always been a little confusing with all the different pastes that you can get. I have never tried mexican paste or maybe I have not sure really. But when searching for mexican paste is says that its a modelling paste that dries up hard so thats why its great for larger items.

    ayang19: Its because you need to add either Gumtex or tylo powder to the rolled fondant. Otherwise it will be sticky and it will not dry properly or harden.

    When it says ready to use it is meant for covering cakes with. If you dont have gumtex or tylo powder you should be looking for ready made gumpaste this is to make flowers out of.

    Louise, I agree it does go very hard, but if it went on a wedding cake the bride could keep it for a long time, obviously the colour will fade but it will last for years. Customers always say, its too pretty to eat!

    It depend on how many you are going to use. I make mine 1-2 weeks before. They dry up and can be a bit hard to chew on. I would not keep them longer than 6 month if they are going on cakes ect.

    How long prior to an event (e.g. wedding) should the sugar paste roses be made? How long do they “last”?
