To
Make the Roses:
Cut 5 heart-shaped
petals and lightly ruffle the edges. Overlap each petal until a full
circle is formed.
Take a 24 gauge
wire and make a hook, wind yellow thread around your finger 40 times and
hook the wire through the loop and twist.
Thread the
wire through the rose center and leave to dry. |

To
Make the Bib:
Roll out fondant
and cut desired chape. Quickly, take a small leaf cutter and cut
out leaves here and there. Then, remove the pieces and cut out green
leaves to put into the leaf holes. Now, cut out various sizes of
5 petal plunger cutters and overlap some. Cut out lavender petals
to fit in the spaces. Work from the background forward. This
is called Vincent Marquetry for Kerry Vincent of Oklahoma who created this
idea. With a round toothpick, frill the edge to form a ruffle and
cut 2 strips for the ties. Make 2 small bows and attach to finish
off the bib at the area where the tie meets the top part of the bib. |

Baby
Faces:
Use a mold
to mold the face or roll out a piece of flesh-tone fondant or gum paste.
Use a gum paste tool to make the eye sockets, and mouth. Add a tiny,
round piece of flesh-tone gum paste for the nose. Make tiny, white
balls for the eye balls. Use a non-toxic, felt-tip pen for the pupils.
Add hair with softened royal icing. Face may also be made with thinned-down,
royal icing. Drop small amounts onto waxed paper to form raised balls.
When dry add the royal icing hair and facial features. Let dry.
Make a shaped-blanket for the laying-down baby.
The thread
is cut and a molded baby face is placed in the center of the flower and
glued in place with royal icing. |
