# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No baking, no mess, just pure play in edible form—done before the kids get home from school.
  • Kids actually want to help make these, and the results look fancy enough to impress anyone.
  • Built-in variety means every pinwheel tastes a little different, keeping things interesting.
02 -
  • Overstuffing is the enemy—I learned this the hard way when gummies rolled across my kitchen floor—less is actually more for keeping everything intact.
  • Cold roll-ups crack when you bend them, so let them sit out for five minutes if you pulled them straight from the fridge, which makes rolling smooth instead of stressful.
03 -
  • A warm roll-up is a happy roll-up—five minutes on the counter before you work with it prevents cracking and makes the whole process feel effortless.
  • Use a sharp knife and a gentle sawing motion when slicing, which keeps the pinwheel intact instead of compressing it into a sad, squished disc.
