Instructions

1

Mold some fondant into a ball with a cone shape on top. The ball should start out around three-quarters of an inch. This will be the base on which to attach the petals.
2

Use a slightly smaller bit of fondant and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball to about one-quarter of an inch on one side, which will be the bottom. Thin the fondant as you move to the top. This will be the first petal.
3

Wrap the petal around the ball-cone shaped fondant base with the thin end at the top. It should look like a bud of a rose.
4

Make three or four more petals of the same size and add them to the base, wrapping them one at a time around the last petal. Curl the tops out slightly to make them look like real rose petals.
5

Get five larger balls of fondant and shape them into petals. Add them to the outer edges of the flower, curling the tops only slightly. You should have a flower in the shape of a rose.
