Damask rose Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

When making the rose buds, try and make them around half the size of the smallest cutter and allow them to dry overnight until they are solid. This rose is built up of three sets of petals with each set being a little bigger than the last so you will need three different rose cutters. Try and source some foam that you can cut up as it will come in handy when forming that open rose shape when you are letting it dry. For the purpose of this tutorial, Paul is making the rose in one go but it’s best to make all the petals in one go and form a production line and allow them to dry before putting them all together.

We’re almost there! It has been a bit of a challenge but definitely worth it as we see the came coming together beautifully. Now to add some lovely ribbon and then it’s time to dust the roses and leaves. Feel free to use any dust you like but Paul chooses to add a little warmth to the middle of the rose which adds a realistic and classy look.
