How To

How to Make an Icing Rosebud
Finish your petit fours or cupcakes with one pretty rosebud. Made in buttercream, this flat flower can be piped directly on a cake in your favorite colors. Or make them ahead using royal icing. On cakes, use the rosebud as an accent or in a floral spray bouquet.
How to Pipe Buttercream Roses
Instantly elevate your dessert with an elegant buttercream rose. Made by layering petals on a flower nail, this blooming buttercream flower is easy to make once you get the hang of it! Use a standard petal tip and stiff buttercream frosting to make a whole garden of roses for your next baking project.
How to Pipe Icing Leaves
Make a simple, versatile leaf to add realistic details to flowers. Leaf tips can also be used to make simple flowers, such as sunflowers.
