Let's Make Beginner-Friendly Floral Fondant Cookies

• Aqua Blend Botanical Pack
• Bakers Bond Edible Glue
• 1kg White Fondant
• Flower Cookie Cutter (for this we used the flower from the LOYAL 6pc Assorted Shape Set).
• Assorted leafy and floral silicone moulds
• Cornflour Duster (make your own by popping some cornflour into a chux cloth, gathering the corners together and securing with a rubber band).

• Begin with your sugar cookies cut into flower shapes, baked and fully cooled.
  
  
• Dust a generous amount of cornflour onto the bench.
  
  
• Start by kneading a manageable chunk of fondant so it's soft and easy to work with.
  
  
• Decide how many base colours you want, then roll your fondant into separate balls—one for each shade.
  
  
• To colour, press a little dimple into each fondant ball and add about two drops of Colour Mill Aqua Blend. Stretch, fold, and knead until the color is evenly mixed in (watch the video below to see the magic in action).
  
  
• Stretch and fold the fondant onto itself until the colour has evenly dispersed, kneading as you go. Put the fondant balls aside as you colour.
  
  
• Ensure you continuously dust your work surface with cornflour to avoid fondant sticking.
  
  
• It's time to roll and cut! Working one colour at a time roll out the ball of fondant, flipping and dusting it with cornflour every few rolls to ensure a nice and smooth surface on both sides.
  
  
• Once it's approx. 1-2mm thick, begin cutting out your flowers with a flower cookie cutter.
  
  
• Use a food-safe brush to paint a thin layer of Bakers Bond onto your flower cookies and carefully place each fondant flower on top, pressing gently to secure.

• Collect the left over fondant after cutting your flowers and roll them back into small balls.
  
  
• Begin but generously dusting your silicone moulds with cornflower.
  
  
• Squish the fondant into the moulds, pressing firmly and ensuring and even spread throughout the entire mould. Avoid overfilling the mould by cutting any rounding off the back, to create a nice and flat surface.
  
  
• Let the fondant sit in their moulds for up to 10 minutes, before gently pulling the mould away and peeling the fondant decoration out.

• Start by arranging your moulded decorations on the cookies to plan out their configurations.

• Once you have finalised the designs, start gluing the decorations on using a small amount of Bakers Bond.

Serve and Enjoy!
