Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it! Do you get excited around this time? I’ve never been one for Valentine’s Day but I do love all the red & pink goodies and flowers that pop-up everywhere around this time of year. So much lovey-doviness  in the air.https://83fe3ef8de8cef8f842e38692b90f05d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

I don’t think my husband and I have ever celebrated Valentine’s Day in all the 14 years we’ve been married. Not sure why.  He really does an incredible job at making me feel cherished throughout the year  so I guess that’s why I don’t make a big deal out of it. Hear that honey? Don’t start slacking!!!!

Since V-Day is right around the corner I thought now would be a perfect time to show you guys how to create some really easy strawberry roses. Now, you know if I’m doing a food “crafty” type tutorial then it’s GOT to be easy right? lol I’m so food craft challenged it’s not even funny! It’s an act of God that I even learned how to make cake pops or these chocolate covered pretzels!

Here’s 3 reasons why I LOVE LOVE LOVE these strawberry roses:

1. These strawberry roses are easy! I can slice up one in a matter of seconds!
2. They make simple stuff look all ooh la la! Use them to decorate cakes, cupcakes, ice cream, or to dip in melted chocolate or whipped cream.
3. They are gorgeous and SEXXXAY!!! They really are so pretty to look at aren’t they?

I mean like 4 real if you’re going to serve strawberries with warm melted chocolate you might as well serve ROSE-shaped strawberries right to take it over the top a lil bit. If you can make a slit then you can make these strawberries roses no lie. It’s really that easy. I was blown away when I discovered how quick and simple they were to make.

Make as many petal layers as you’d like! I think the more layers the prettier!  It does start to get fragile with lots of layers though. For the closed rose look, 2 layers is just right! Once you make your first one you’ll have the hang of it and then you can experiment with how many layers you prefer. Mixing them up would make for a really pretty  strawberry bouquet!

• Use your knife to very gently curl the tip of the “petal” by pressing it back.
• This is your first petal!
• Repeat on the other 3 sides of the strawberry until you have four “petals” at the base of the strawberry.
• Now let’s make another row!
• Starting above the row you just made, between two petals, make another slit.

STRAWBERRY ROSES

Learn how to create gorgeous roses from strawberries.

Ingredients

• 1 box Strawberries

Step 1

STEP 1

Before you begin, choose strawberries that are nice and uniformly round unlike the ones shown in the photo above. The strawberry on the left is too flat, while the other one is too long

Step 2

STEP 2

Wash and dry the strawberries. It’s important to use a small sharp knife to get clean and intricate cuts.

Step 3

STEP 3

Place the blade on the middle section of the strawberry. Make a cut straight down (the knife should be perpendicular to the table) but do not cut all the way through. Gently push this “petal” outwards and repeat to create 5 petals.

Step 4

STEP 3.5

You’ll be left with a pentagon shaped core.

Step 5

STEP 4

In a similar manner as the creation of the outer petals, make a straight cut down (but not all the way through) near the corner of the pentagon and push this inner petal outwards to fill the gap between the outer petals. Repeat for all 5 inner petals.

Step 6

STEP 5

Make a cut on the outside of the core and continue inwards, spiralling towards the center of the core. Once you’ve reached the center, pluck out the leftover tip.

YIELD: 1 CALORIES: 48kcal

EQUIPMENT

• Paring Knife & Skewers

Ingredients

• 8 California Strawberries

Instructions

• Wash strawberries and pat them dry.
• Hold the strawberry in your non-dominant hand from the stem, so that the strawberry is facing upwards.
• Starting halfway down the strawberry, slice about ¾ inch down (length will vary depending on size of strawberry) on the side of the strawberry to create a “petal.”
• Before removing the knife, use it to gently curl the “petal” outwards by pressing it back.
• Repeat on the other three sides of the strawberry to create four base “petals.”
• Repeat this process for the row above the base, cutting between the existing “petals” so that they are staggered. Curl each petal back with the knife.
• Continue to create staggered “petals” until you reach the top of the strawberry.
• Slit the top of the strawberry to create a rose “bud.”
• Gently push back each of the “petals” to create your desired rose shape.
• Once the rose is complete, push the pointy end of a skewer into the bottom of the strawberry until it feels secure. Adjust petals as needed.
• Repeat this process with as many strawberries as you would like to create a rose “bouquet.”

How To Make Strawberry Roses

Strawberry roses are a fun garnish for spring cakes, class cupcakes, or even a bridal shower vase. This knife trick might seem frivolous at first glance, but you’ll be glad you mastered it once strawberries hit high season. Here’s everything you need to know about making strawberry roses at home with a paring knife.

Why Make Strawberry Roses

Turning strawberries into petite roses is as simple as a few strategically made cuts on the outside of each berry, but the results are pretty enough to adorn a cake or turn into a bouquet.

Here’s what you need for making strawberry roses at home.

• A sharp paring knife: Since the “rose” petals are made by slicing into the delicate flesh of the berries, a sharp knife will make this easier and yield neater results. A sharp paring knife is a great choice.
• Wooden skewers: Inserting a skewer in the end of the strawberry creates a handle for the berry that makes the petals easier to slice.
• Optional green floral tape or washi tape and rose leaves: If you plan to transform your roses into a bouquet you’ll use the floral tape to disguise the skewers as stems. Rose leaves can be borrowed from your neighbor’s bush or your local florist — just make sure they are pesticide-free.

The Best Strawberries for Making Roses

Medium to large strawberries are best for making strawberry roses — especially when learning the technique. Berries that are wide at the base and taper to a point are best for the individual roses. You want the berries to be on the firmer side, so opt for berries that are just ripe.

INGREDIENTS

• Whole, fresh strawberries with leaves intact

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the strawberries. Rinse and dry the strawberries, leaving the stems intact. Insert a wooden skewer into the first strawberry through the stem end.
2. Slice the first row of petals. Beginning about 1/2 of the way up from the tip of the strawberry, cut a thin slice down toward the stem, leaving the slice attached. Gently press the slice out with your knife to curl the petal; rotate the strawberry a quarter turn after each cut. Cut 3 more slices in the same manner around the base of the strawberry, starting where the previous cut ends, making 4 petals total.
3. Slice additional rows of petals. Beginning about 1/3 of the way down from the tip of the strawberry, make another set of petals using the same slicing technique. Make the cuts in this row so that the petals are staggered between the petals of the first row. Depending on the size of your strawberry, you may be able to add 1 additional row of petals close to the tip of the strawberry.
4. Finish the strawberry rose. Finish the rose by cutting a slit down the tip of the strawberry and pressing each side out slightly, or cut the top 1/4-inch off of the tip for a wider, more open rose. Remove the wooden skewer and use the strawberry rose to decorate cakes, cupcakes, breakfast platters, etc.
5. Prepare the strawberries. Rinse and dry the strawberries, leaving the stems intact. Insert a wooden skewer into the first strawberry through the stem end.
6. Slice the first row of petals. Beginning about 1/2 of the way up from the tip of the strawberry, cut a thin slice down toward the stem, leaving the slice attached. Gently press the slice out with your knife to curl the petal; rotate the strawberry a quarter turn after each cut.

Remove the wooden skewer and use the strawberry rose to decorate cakes, cupcakes, breakfast platters, etc.
9. Make long-stemmed strawberry roses. If you’d like to make long-stemmed strawberry roses, wrap a wooden skewer for each rose with green floral or washi tape. Wash and dry leaves from a real rose (or ask your neighborhood florist for scrap rose leaves and make sure there aren’t pesticides) and attach to the wrapped skewer with more tape. Insert a decorative skewer into the stem end of each strawberry. Display your bouquet of strawberry roses in a vase.
