Fondant Ribbon Roses:

1. Roll out 1/8 inch thick strip of fondant 2 inches x 5 inches.
2. Begin rolling lightly from one end, gradually loosening roll as flower
gets larger. You will be rolling three complete turns. Cut off end and
fold edge under.
3. Trim flower so it is 3/4 to 1 inch high.

In my Wilton books...............icon_smile.gif You might check the Wilton website....I'm really not too familiar with it, but in the fondant flowers section is where it is in their books. You might check you local library????? Or google "ribbon roses fondant"...... Look at the "romantic roses" in the recipe section of the Wilton site. Honestly....they are so simple. Just roll the ribbon like it was a fabric tape measure.....they pinch one side of the roll to be the bottom of the rose and furl it open a bit...........I think if you just DO IT....you'll create your own version of the ribbon rose. Look at the pic on the wilton site....

I find that starting by folding the first part into a triangle, (this is really hard to explain) but did you ever pass notes in school and roll them up length wise and then roll them in triangles??? Does this sound crazy??? Well, I start by making one fold down to form a small triangle and then start rolling. I know several people do this. Can anyone help me explain???

Ha ha ha....nope, not a 'note passer', icon_wink.gif I was a good girl! (just kiddin') I am trying to imagine this but havin' some trouble...some of them look loose, kind of ruffed out a bit...when I tried to make a few, they looked tight and, well, I dunno, just not how I wanted them to look. When I did try and make them a bit looser sp?), they fell apart. Aye yi yi......lol....

Do you know how to fold a flag?

That first fold (where you start with a rectangle- take one corner and fold it to meet the opposite edge) is it. I also do this. Colette Peters has a couple of illustrations in her Cakes to Dream On book, but I'm not sure where to fine one online.
