STEP #1 PREPARE THE FONDANT: Start by rolling your fondant to about 1/8” inch thickness. Its easier to work with it if you spread a thin film of shortening on the surface where you roll it. It will also make it easier to pull the fondant out of the imprint tool. Once rolled, use the back of the imprint tool to cut out the rectangular shape that you will use to imprint the flowers. Remove any excess fondant around the edges. Fondant Flower Cupcakes, Fondant Flowers, Wilton Fondant, Thin Film, Excess, Step, Surface, Shapes, Work

STEP #2 IMPRINT THE FLOWERS: Place the rectangular piece of fondant in the Button Flower Fondant Cut & Press Set and press firmly to shape the flowers. Mary advises that after this step its better to remove any excess fondant from around the flowers, but leave the fondant that is inside the flower shapes and press one more time.

STEP #2 IMPRINT THE FLOWERS: This will make sure that the imprint will look nice and sharp on the flower surface. Use a pointed fondant modeling tool from the 10 Piece Fondant/Gum Paste Tool Set to gently remove the shaped flowers out of the mold. Mary also dusted the inside of the mold with cornstarch, to make it easier to remove the fondant. Gum Paste Tools, Tool Set, Modeling, How To Look Better

STEP #3 LET DRY/SHAPE: After removing the flower from the mold, place them in flower forming cups and let them dry for a while. They will dry nicely and maintain the gentle curve from the cup, which will give them a more 3-dimensional look. If you are aiming at a 2D design, you can let them dry flat on parchment paper. Create your flowers in the desired colors in advance, as Mary did. Leaves are created the same way by using the Rose Leaf Fondant Cut & Press Set.
