How to make Royal Fondant
Sunflower:
1 Divide the fondant into one large ball and one medium-sized ball.
3 Dab green icing color onto the medium-sized ball. Kneed until blended.
4 Sprinkle your work surface with corn starch and roll out the yellow fondant until it is 1/16-inch thick.
5 Select a large daisy cookie cutter and cut out two daisies for each sunflower.
6 Drag a veining tool or knife blade lightly across each petal to create veins.
7 Place each flower inside a molding cup, a small shallow dish or a form made of aluminum foil. Allow it to dry until the edge of each flower curls slightly upward.
8 Re-dust the work surface with corn starch and roll out the green fondant.
9 Cut out one green daisy for each sunflower. These will form the sunflower's sepals.
10 Create veins on each sepal. These can be deeper than those on the sunflower, if you desire.
11 Place them in a molding cup, dish or form until the edges curl upward.
12 Remove the sunflowers out of the mold. Stack two of them so that the bottom petals show between the top petals.
13 Place the sunflowers on top of the sepals.
14 Add cocoa powder to royal icing until it turns dark brown.
15 Pipe icing into the center of each sunflower.
Your beautiful sunflower is now ready to decorate your cakes.. :)
