• Then, roll out the fondant to a thickness of about 1/8 inch and use flower-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
• You can use a small ball tool or the back of a spoon to gently press into the center of the flower, creating a slight indentation.
• To add some dimension to the flowers, you can gently curl the petals with your fingers or use a toothpick to create texture.
