EDIBLE COMPONENTS:

(1) Fondant

(2) Water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PROCEDURE:

(1) Color fondant green and shape some into a cone. Leave to air dry for about an hour so it holds shape when touched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) Roll out leftover green fondant and cut out petals using a daisy petal cutter. Pinch the middle of the petals together to form bunches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3) Brush the cone with a bit of water and stick the petals to the cone starting from the bottom and working your way all the way to the top. Use the base of the brush to press the center of the petals onto the cone. You will need a lot of petals to cover an average sized cone.
