Can roses be made of candy clay? If so, is the process the same as making roses with fondant? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much, Jan H. I saw the Wilton ribbon roses instructions, but wasn't sure it would work on the candy clay. Once again, CC to the rescue!

I made candy clay roses for a 4 tier wedding cake in May, it's in my pictures... I think it's my favorite medium for roses!

OMG you'll are so kind, I will forever be thankful the links were great and the cuppies were beautiful thanks for posting. The cake was unreal I can't wait till I get to that stage. I will, and I will remember the night I stayed up so late because I was so excited about the info and can't go to sleep now thank you'll again

this is the only cake I ever made, my daughter had taken a class a few years ago for extra money she is in nursing school RN and she walked me threw it but she did her cake bigger and nicer and I did mine all by myself lol I couldn't get the photo attached but it is in my photos

Thank you xstitcher, I went to profile and I think I fixed it. Love CC and everyone is so nice yeah. Thank you for the complament on my cake. I have been practicing alot and I plan on making another one Monday. I will use all the tips on the candy roses. Thanks again

umgrzfn - i love your candy clay roses! They turned out great!

I am using the starburst candy and it is sticky can anyone let me know if I can use anything with the candy to keep it from being sticky
Thanks

Wash your hands frequently. Once your hands get sticky, it's hard to mold stuff. Handle it as little as possible, and use two sheets of waxed paper to help smooth it out into a sheet. Mostly handle it as little as possible and once it's rolled or stretched out thin enough, keep it cool. Also, once it's made into a rose, keep it VERY cool, because they'll melt into little blobs pretty quickly if it gets warm!

wow thanks, I'll go outside and get it out of the yard and try that.
I really thank you

thanks kansaswolf I made it and you were so right it melts fast but I did it, my hubby told me to put cold water in a bowl and that helped keep my hands clean and cold. I have pics of the rose in my photos I still need lots of practice, I never even made one with fondant maybe I need to practice with that first
thanks again
