Step 1
Soften modeling chocolate (knead until smooth). Make a ball (approximately 1-inch in diameter) for the base of the rose. Make four 1/4-inch balls for the first set of petals. Make three 1/2-inch balls for the second set of petals. Make five 3/4-inch balls for the third set of petals.
Step 2
Pinch the 1/4-inch balls until flat, then pinch the edges to add texture.
Step 3
Take first petal, attach to 1-inch ball, and form a cone (this may require a little water).
Step 4
Take a flattened petal, curve it as shown, and roll the opposite edges with a toothpick.
Step 5
Flip petal over and press thumb into the center to shape it.
Step 6
Start adding petals one at a time, keeping the height a tiny bit higher than the center cone.
Overlap each petal with the petal next to it.
Step 7
Use smoothing tool to attach.
Step 8
Using your fingers, curl back the tips of the petal to give it more dimension.
Step 9
Repeat the process using the three 1/2-inch balls for the second set of petals and using the five 3/4-inch balls for the third set of petals. Continue until you have a rose the size you desire!
