To make fondant flowers you'll need:
- White ready to roll regal ice icing (also called roll-out icing, rolled fondant or pastillage),
- Sifted icing sugar (also called powdered sugar or confectioners' sugar),
- Natural food colouring in the colours you want (I chose red, yellow, and blue)
- eight petal daisy cutter
- circle cutters
- rolling pin
- baking parchment
Recipe:
- Divide the white ready to roll icing into four smaller pieces.
- Knead the icing to soften, then gradually add food colouring until you get the desired colour. I used yellow and blue to make green, red and blue to make purple, a little red to make pink, and blue with yellow to make pale mint blue.
- Lay out some baking parchment on your work surface.
- Sieve icing sugar onto your work area and rolling pin.
- Roll the icing out to about 4mm thick and, using a cutter, cut out the petal shapes. For the centre of the flowers cut a circle and then press into a small measuring spoon, like the one pictured, to get a button-like shape.
- Wet back of flower centre, place on top of petals, and allow to set.
