These Hibiscus Flowers are made out of fondant. supplies needed👇
Fondant, Flower Cookie Cutter, fondant tools, foam pad , flower wire and a rolling pin.
Start by rolling out the fondant and cutting it with the Flower Cookie Cutter
Texture your flower with a fondant tool that looks like a fan (shown on next picture. you can also use a thootpick and make lines on the flower
next place your Flower on a Foam Pad and thin out the edges with a Fondant Ball Tool.
to give the flower its shape i placed it on a piece of aluminium foil (shaped as a drying mold) you can also used a egg carton upside down or a Fondant Drying Mold
The next part of the flower is the pistil, take a piece of fondant and make a shape like in the picture below
then insert the flower wire
next step is to attach it to the middle of the flower and make the white details (I used white royal icing but small pieces of white fondant can be used as well
let flower dry for at least 3 days before using it. this time allows the fondant to dry completely and the flower can maintain its shape when used.
Thanks for reading!
Caro..

Thank you🤗🤗
Such a beautiful decoration!
I am thinking of trying this out soon 😀 by the way, you mentioned that the fondant has to be left to dry to ensure its shape. Should it be left to dry in the fridge? What sort of temperature and humidity level would you recommend?
Hi! I’m glad you liked this post.. just leave it at room temperature for a few days. I recommend a dry place. Thank you☺
