Hello Everyone!
A few months ago I was graciously invited to do a guest post on SweetSugarBelle's blog. I came up with this step-by-step guide to making my royal icing ribbon roses. They gained a lot of attention and I received many inquiries about them, so I thought they were worthy of a re-post. Here is my tutorial again~
Take a look at some of my cookies...

Notice those little ribbon roses? They are made of royal icing and very simple to make!
Here's how I did it....
You will need:
Royal Icing (I use this recipe)
A flower nail (I use Wilton #9)
A pastry bag fitted with a small petal tip (I use Wilton #101)
1"x1" squares of waxed paper
Sometimes using a video demo is easier to explain....You can view me making ribbon roses in this video. (My apologies in-advance for my horrendous New York accent and also the poor video quality!)
Once the roses have dried (after a few hours), you can peel off the waxed paper and store them in Tupperware containers for up to a year!
I bought these cute little guys at my local dollar store!
Here are some cute Valentine's Day cookies I made using the ribbon roses!
"A Dozen Roses"
I made these for Mother's Day...
By the way, I used a "shooting star" cutter to make these cookies!
So get creative! Stop by my blog and show me what you made...
I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Beautiful roses, Loren! I have to try making them... I think they look easier to make than they actually are...

Thanks for reposting this! I originally saw it on the other blog, then couldn't remember where I saw it. It's fantastic!!!
Your cookies are beautiful and I'm going to attempt the ribbon roses next week! What consistency do you use for your icing to keep the roses looking so perfect??
Thanks everybody!
trtluv - The royal icing consistancy needs to be as thick as possible. Have fun!

Thank you for a lovely tutorial! Your cookies are beautiful and you are an excellent teacher! Thanks!!
Hi Loren, I know you said thick. So I'm guessing thicker than the normal outlining consistency right?
Thanks everyone! Megan...yes, thick! Thick as you can get it and still be able to squeeze your piping bag with ease. :o)
