Gumdrop Roses!

Hey Everyone!
This is Joanna by the way! :) My pinterest project for this month is gumdrop flowers. 

I decorated cupcakes for my Grandpa and Grandma's 55th anniversary family get together.

To make the flowers: (I used regular sized gumdrops)

1. Roll out gumdrop on a sugared surface into a circle (this prevents the gum drop from sticking).

2. Cut the circle into three strips.

3.Start with one strip and wrap it into a coil shape pinching at the bottom.

4. Wrap each of the other strips around the first one to create the rose shape! 

5. For the leaves I just cut strips of green gum drops and pinched them at the base.

Have an awesome day everyone! :)
