How do you make icing roses on a cake?

To make your rose, start in the center, then slowly move your tip in a circle around the center point. I wanted a single rose to span the side of the cake so I looped around my center point twice. Try to end in the same place each time. Go all the way around the cake and complete with one last rose!

Is fondant icing sugar the same as icing sugar?

What can you use instead of fondant icing sugar?

Use gum paste. It’s very similar in texture to fondant, but is closer to the typical buttercream frosting. It’s made with egg, shortening, and confectioner sugar. For the longest time, this was my go-to frosting recipe for sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies.
