# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ten minutes flat from your kitchen to the plate—no baking, no fancy equipment required.
  • It's the kind of treat that looks impressive but feels almost like cheating because it's so easy.
  • Every roll-up comes out looking different, which makes them feel special and a little bit celebratory.
02 -
  • A dull knife will smash your pinwheels; a sharp one slices cleanly and keeps them picture-perfect.
  • If your gummies keep sliding around, you haven't pressed down firmly enough while rolling—go back and give it a gentle but purposeful squeeze.
  • These really do taste best within a few hours, so don't make them too far ahead unless you're okay with slightly softer textures.
03 -
  • Keep your knife blade slightly damp (but not wet) when slicing—it prevents sticking and gives you those clean, beautiful cuts every time.
  • If you're making a big batch, arrange finished pinwheels on parchment paper in the fridge so they hold their shape and look polished when you serve them.
