Fantasy Rose Cookie Tutorial

These fantasy laced rose cookies would be brilliant for a wedding shower!

With lace once again being a romantic and popular choice for brides and weddings, I thought a sugar cookie decorated with a laced fantasy rose laying on a lace background and piped with a lace border would be perfect for a bridal shower or wedding favors. Not only does lace have an aristocratic touch, but a sense of fantasy. Like my 100 year old grandma says..”All fashion trends recycle you just have wait a century or so!” All kidding aside it is nice to see lace come back.

This same design would work just as nice on a cake or a cupcake. You would need to adjust sizes and you would have a matching wedding cake or cupcakes!

The inspiration was Elie Saab wedding 2014

You can never go wrong with lace!

Bake you sugar cookies and allow them to cool completely prior to decorating them.

Mix 50/50 of fondant and gumpaste/flower paste, roll the paste to tissue paper thin or a #7 on the pasta machine.

The lace part of the fantasy rose is extremely fragile when it is dry, therefore it’s a good idea to wait about 3 to 4 hours and then attach the fantasy lace rose. You will want the flower to still be slightly pliable to prevent breakage (dry enough, however to hold the cupped shape).
