Fondant Tiara Template

I used a Crisco Vegetable Shortening 48 oz (3lb) can size for my tiara.

Make sure to secure the can to a base with tape so it does not roll around.  Place your template on top of the can and tape it at each end so it does not move around.  Then take a piece of parchment paper and lay it on top of the template and secure it with tape on both ends so it stays in place.

Once your template is prepped and ready, take your fondant and mix it with either gumpaste or tylose powder.  Roll out your fondant or use an extruder to get even pieces.

For the base, use one strip of fondant and place it over the lines and smooth it out with a fondant smoother so that it is flat unless you want to leave it round.  If it slides from side to side, you can secure the ends with a little bit of royal icing so that is stays in place.

To start the Tiara, use one piece of fondant strip and make your center design, making sure all of your ends connect.  Use edible glue to stick them together.  Continue to do the same process for the entire tiara.  It is important that you use one single strip for each line and to make sure they all connect so that your Tiara is strong and supported.

Once all of your tiara scrolls are complete, insert the small scrolls in the inside of the middle part at the same time placing the oval piece in the middle.    You may also add all 3 oval pieces on the top or just one.

Place your finished Tiara in a secure place and let it dry before removing it.

When removing your Tiara, just slide it off carefully to avoid breaking.

The tiara measures 4" tall and 10" base from one end to the other.  As you can see I made some modifications along the way when making it.
