Form a conical base and thin petal slices, then layer and wrap them to assemble into a rose.
Ingredients
almond paste
to taste
Instructions
1
Make the base
Roll the almond paste ball into a cone shape to serve as the base of the rose.
2
Make the flower center
Place the cone base with the tip pointing upward to serve as the flower center.
3
Make the petals
Roll the almond paste into long strips, cut into equal portions, and flatten into small discs. Use the back of a spoon in a circular motion to thin the edges until paper-thin.
4
Assemble the first petal
Wrap a petal around the base, leaving one side unsealed so that the next petal can be inserted.
5
Assemble the remaining petals
Continue adding petals in the same way until the rose reaches the desired size. Use a sharp knife to cut the rose off the base.
