I made a lot of fondant roses using this cutter for wedding cake. It was fast and easy. Please take the extra step and run your ball tool over the edges to ruffle and thin them for more realistic looking roses. Easy to clean, light, but sturdy and simple to use. I bought this thing 7 years ago and it's still in good shape and providing several uses. Only tip I really have its to roll your fondant thin and to thin the middle even more because you fold the shap up and roll it to form the rose and you'll have a lot of bulk to deal with when attaching them to a cake. The bottom of the finished rose is flat but you can work with it.
