  3. Gather 2 sections for forming a small cone that will form the heart of the flower.

  4. Form 6 small balls with the remaining sections, then crush them gently with your thumb on your board. You should make the 6 small round, not thick.

  5. Flatten of these round ones with the palm of your hand to flatten them in the shape of petals. Then refine the tip of each petal with the fingertips.

  6. Carefully peel off the petals with a knife.

  7. Wrap the heart of the flower with 2 petals. Arrange the other petals around the preceding ones, by shifting them lightly and making them adhere by the base of the flower.


Note: Be sure to give a round shape to your your rose in almond dough; to make the petals resemble real ones, refine them as much as possible and gently pinch them between your fingerstips.
