Yesterday we went up north to our friends house for a barbeque. She is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, check out her work on her blog Stampin' Lab. Her request was for Red, White & Blue cupcakes even though Independence Day was 4 months ago. I love seeing pinwheels out of patterned paper so I thought I'd try making pinwheels out of fondant. It was much easier than I thought & they came out great.
Fondant Pinwheel with royal icing center
you can use fondant for the center if you don't have any royal icing made
You will need:
Gumpaste Glue or vodka (I use vodka)
Square cutter
Fondant
Rolling pin with pink spacers
Knife
paint brush
Roll Fondant #1
Cut a sqare with the square cutter
Repeat with Fondant #2
Place both squares together
Gently roll the 2 together in one direction
Cut the new multi color piece of fondant with the square cutter
Using your knife cut each corner leaving about 1/2" in the middle uncut (see below)
4 corners cut
Place some glue in the middle
Gently fold corner one into the middle & press with the end of your paintbrush to secure
apply glue to the center
Fold next corner in
Continue until all 4 corners are folded in
Place a drop of Royal icing or a ball of fondant in the center
Dry for 24 hours before putting on cupcakes or cake

Thanks Amber!
This is a great tutorial, thank you, so can you use vodka to glue the pinwheel together? Thanks Charlotte
