How to Make Roses out of Chocolate Candy Clay
It's not exactly professional, but I think you can understand the directions on how to make roses out of chocolate candy clay that you can use in cake decorating.

This is where you tell me how awesome and funny I am. If you want to tell me how much I suck, you have to use my hate mail form here. http://www.becauseisaidso.com/get-in-touch/hate-mail/ Those are the rules. Oh and I moderate my comments so if your comment doesn't show up immediately, be patient, young Jedi.
A colorful variation is to use starbursts, just warm them for a few seconds in the microwave then shape the same way
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteIs the thin part of the petal at the top of the rose or on the bottom of the rose? They are really, really pretty.
Thanks for the how-to. You have such a beautiful voice... it was nice to just listen to you speak. Silly, I know. :)
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I hope to do those soon. I know you like Duff, but I'm a Cake Boss fan. Maybe someday I will get into cake decorating. This will definately be a start! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial Dawn! I love that you can use chocolate melts!! What was that stuff you mixed in?
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! Brooklyn was a great help in learning how to make the roses. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Thanks. I am hosting a girls night in for my friends at the end of the month and I am going to try these on top of cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to do this. I am guessing you can use this same technique to make figures for kids' cakes, right? I'm not a fan of fondant and I think I could have more control with this than strictly figure piping.
ReplyDeleteRoses are red,
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
But so is chocolate that you add corn syrup to!
You have great hair.
ReplyDeleteYes that is what I got out of this video a love for your hair.
And your voice is cool too.
The roses were pretty neat i suppose.
:)
Those look so easy even I could not mess them up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this - can't wait to try making them!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I agree with everyone about your hair and voice...
ReplyDeleteYEARS ago I was playing with playdoh and did this same method and made beautiful playdoh roses and thought, oh, these are so pretty...never realized they had edible stuff that worked the same way! This is great to know!
You are such a blessing and such a giver. So happy that you have had people stepping up and doing nice things for you...God will never leave your nor forsake you, so when the going gets rough and you feel like you are being attacked from every side...he sends special people along to bless you and remind you of how much He loves you!!! Glad you are having a great day. Love the video and look forward to more...
P.S. I am sure you have been told this before, but your voice reminds me of Kirsty Alley
Love the video! Thanks for sharing some of your cake decorating magic with us!
ReplyDeleteCan you use any sort of white chocolate? I don't know what "candy melts" are :þ
ReplyDeleteAnd same method for marzipan roses?
Great how-to! I have long given up trying to pipe roses out of buttercream! This looks like a great alternative! Now I have to find a reason to try this out!
ReplyDeleteDawn, these are awesome! I never thought I could make something so beautiful, but you made it look so easy. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove them! Great video....can't wait to try them out.
ReplyDeleteThese look great Dawn. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if we can even get corn syrup in Australia, think I've seen glucose syrup in the supermakrets would this do if we can't get corn syrup?
Dawn, this was awesome. Thanks so much for the lesson - I can't wait to try this out.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, and so easy once you explained it! Thank you very much for the video!
ReplyDeleteYou really did a nice job on the video, Dawn. It's easy to follow and nicely filmed.
Hopefully you're going to upload the video - and future lessons - to YouTube.com. Maybe someday you could even start your own channel there.

nutralady1, here's the answer to your question, on an Australia site: http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/food/foodfeatures/993619/corn-syrup
What a wonderful tutorial! I seem to recall that you were going to post your fondant recipe at some point - did I miss it? I would love a fondant recipe that actually is edible! I can't wait to try the roses!
ReplyDeleteThis was wonderful it makes me want to bake a cake right now and make up some roses. Not sure if my boys would like a rose cake for their b-days but they might just get one!!!! I can't wait until August for my baby girls b-day too. And you are so beautiful with everything you are going through you amaze me. You're in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that 2011 will be wonderful for you and your 6 pack!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Glenda, I was going to do some Googling later on. I'll have a look next time I go shopping.
ReplyDeleteDawn, thanks for the video! Can't wait to try to make these with my granddaughters! Not great at decorating but you make it look easy! Thanks for thinking of us when you have so much on your plate right now. Prayers going your way for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for making and posting this video! You should have your own show! I could listen to you talk all day. I can't believe how calm you are with all that's going on in your personal life right now. Blessings to you! Brooklyn is such a cutie! Great addition to this video.
ReplyDeleteI took cake decorating classes at Michaels several years ago and never did master the buttercream rose. Where did you learn this technique? This way is much easier and looks more fun! Thanks again!
I'm going to impress so many people!! Ü Cool beans. I love using candy melts. can't wait to see more of your cake decorating tips!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is fantastic! The video was great. Thank you so much for showing us and making it look so easy. I'm not planning a cake anytime soon, but the bigger roses would look gorgeous on top of a cupcake. I have candy melts in my pantry right now and they're calling my name! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you! These will be perfect for a cake I'm making for my 3 year old friend's tea party! I can't wait to show her!
ReplyDeleteI don't do decorating, but I might actually try this. Thank you for the tutorial! I have not an artistic bone in my body, but you made this look easy, so I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteCool tutorial! I will be making these :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to try these! Thanks so much, and I look forward to more cake-decorating lessons from you!
ReplyDeleteThe tutorial was great!! I can't wait to do these in white for my brothers wedding!! I have just one question, how far in advance can you make them?
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to think of something cute to do for my daughter's birthday cupcakes and was googling "flower cupcakes" when I remembered this tutorial. I'm so going to make rose flowerpot cupcakes for her birthday! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fantastic idea! I will sharing on my facebook wall. Thank you so much for sharing with everyone! The roses are beautiful just like you! Your beautiful personality shines right through! Very lovely once again thank you!
ReplyDeleteI loved this! It was SO easy to do! I made my daughter a "Frozen" cake for her 7th birthday and used the roses, as well as made some snowballs. I wanted to add pictures of my first attempt, but I can't figure out how to upload one.
