Overview

The purpose of this blog is to inspire people to create. I'm a Pinterest addict, there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not searching for my next project. There are so many talented people out there posting awesome creations that I thought I could join in the inspiration and help others be distinctively creative.A little history on myself: I ran a home based craft business for about 6 years. At the time I sold my products to almost every US state, and countries like Japan and Iceland. One of my designs "Tulips in Spring" was published in the "Let's Paint Magazine" by Decoart and is still available online. I have taught adult education classes at several of my surrounding community colleges and high schools. I was a Girl Scout Leader for 13 years and love coming up with different weekly crafts/swaps. Currently a couple times a year I get my "craft fix" by supplying a craft at girls night/weekend, but now I would like to share my distinctive creations with you.

Fondant Roses


The roses can be made with modeling chocolate or fondant and are fairly easy to make. I start with a cone shaped piece of fondant on my work surface with the fat side of the cone attached to the table, then I cut out circles with my cutter and wrap them around the cone while curling the petal out. I was too cheap to buy all the tools that are involved in making roses but this example by another blogger is a good example on how to make them. The awesome thing about making flowers is that each one can be different and no two exactly alike. You can sprinkle them with sugar or edible glitter, tint them red or any color of the rainbow.
