Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a cake with roses from fondant? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can make the mastic yourself or buy it ready-made. You will also need forms for cutting out petals and leaves, toothpicks for fastening roses, a lemon fork, scissors and a brush. You can decorate any cake this way. The cake must be covered with a thin layer of buttercream. It is better to keep it in the refrigerator before decorating so that the cream hardens completely.

Step 2

Step 2
Roll out the fondant into a thin pancake large enough to cover the cake.

Step 3

Step 3
Carefully, so as not to damage the mastic, cover the cake with it. Trim the edges with scissors. The remaining mastic will be used to form roses. They should be placed in a bag so that they do not dry out in the air.

Step 4

Step 4
Using your fingers, create a drape on the sides of the cake.

Step 5

Step 5
This will simulate a tablecloth on the table.

Step 6

Step 6
Divide the remaining mastic into two parts. Roll one part into a small pancake and apply red gel dye to it with a toothpick.

Step 7

Step 7
Knead the mastic. It should acquire a uniform color. Roll out the mastic into a thin pancake.

Step 8

Step 8
Using a round shape of the desired size (a glass or a special shape), cut out circles — these will be rose petals. For one rose you need at least 7 circles. Prepare a small container of water.

Step 9

Step 9
How to make roses for a cake? Wrap the first petal into a tube.

Step 10

Step 10
Lightly lubricate the tube with water and wrap it with the second petal. Lightly knead the edges of the petal to make it look more natural.

Step 11

Step 11
Again, lubricate the resulting bud with water and wrap it with the third petal.

Step 12

Step 12
And so, petal by petal, make a rose.

Step 13

Step 13
Thus, make the number of roses required for decoration.

Step 14

Step 14
The roses will turn out oblong, and they will not look good on the cake. Therefore, use scissors to trim the ends of the buds.

Step 15

Step 15
Paint the second piece of mastic, obtained from the remnants of the cut edges, green. Roll out the green mastic into a pancake and cut out leaves from it.

Step 16

Step 16
Using scissors, make notches on each leaf like real rose leaves.

Step 17

Step 17
Using a lemon fork, draw veins on the leaves.

Step 18

Step 18
Let the finished roses and mastic leaves dry a little.

Step 19

Step 19
Now you can start decorating the cake with roses. Brush the cake with water using a brush.

Step 20

Step 20
Place roses and leaves beautifully on the cake.

Step 21

Step 21
To decorate the sides of the cake with roses, you will need toothpicks cut in half. Carefully insert half of the toothpick into the rosette.

Step 22

Step 22
Attach the roses with toothpicks to the side of the cake. It is convenient to do this with tweezers so as not to crush the roses.

Step 23

Step 23
While the mastic dries to a stable consistency, do not let the decorations settle. Correct them periodically. The flowers and leaves can be prepared a day or more in advance. Then the decorating process will be easier. Enjoy your tea!
