Baked Goods

ROSES: Roll out 1/3 the pink dough as thinly as possible (keep rest wrapped). Cut out several 3/4 inch circles, using a piping tube, bottle cap or other round cutter. Press a small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) of the scraps into a thick "stem," about 1/2 inch high. Dust fingers with cornstarch. Press 1 circle of dough between fingers until thin, wavyedged and about half again as wide. Wrap around stem. Continue adding petals (10 to 12), pressing them firmly against the stem. Break off stem. Set rose in sugar. Repeat with remaining dough.
