"Hi, I'm Rachel for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show you how to shape the dough. Basically we are just going to make flowers. It can be 2 or 3 kinds of flowers. I have another cookie shape right here like a little star. It is nice to have a different variety of shapes for flowers cause this way the flower bouquet would look more colorful and interesting. Usually it is for little kids who would like this. The heart I'm going to use for the leaves for the flowers as you are going to see. You can see it is thick, it is not very thin. It is thick enough to be able to put the wooden stick for grilling. From the other dough, I want to make bears which is usually for birthdays. As you can see as I'm shaping it, I'm just shaking it a little bit to both sides and it makes a little space between the dough and the shape. Which would make it a little bit easier to take it out. Almost done. Of course whatever is left of the dough you just gather it together again you make a ball out of it. Like this make a ball out of it and just roll it again and shape it again. "
