Easy Candy Roses

You have tried decorating your cake all kinds of ways, but have your tried this yet?

The next time that you are shopping, pick up a bag of gumdrops and place them in the refrigerator for an hour or two until they are nice and firm.

Now, using a sharp knife, take each gumdrop and slice it as thin as you can into several pieces.

Once they are cut you can place them onto some waxed paper and let sit at room temperature until they are warmed up and more pliable.

Now take a slice and gently roll it between your fingers. Once you have created a little cone, take another piece and get it just a touch we at the bottom and wrap it around your cone, pressing tightly at the tip.

Continue adding pieces until you have a rose shaped candy.

To make leaves, use a green gumdrop and roll it out flat. Using a sharp knife, cut it into a leave shape and palce under your rose.
