Method
Step 1
Roll out x2 small (50g) balls of coloured flower paste icing.
Step 2
Roll out the yellow icing into a 4mm thick square. Split the pink icing and roll half of it into a 2mm thick square. Slice the pink square into thin strips.
Step 3
Space the pink strips on the yellow icing approximately 10mm apart. Secure in place with boiled water. Roll out the remaining pink icing to a similar sized square and fix to the back of the yellow icing with water.
Step 4
Gently roll over the top of the icing and trim into a 3 inch square. Cut diagonal lines towards the centre of the square.
Step 5
Fold over each corner securing in place in the centre with edible glue or royal icing.
Step 6
Stick a small ball of icing in the centre to hold the icing in place.
Step 7
Use edible glue or royal icing to secure a flattened straw to the back of the pinwheel.

Leave to dry.
