The classic Christmas Poinsettia may be piped in white, pink or red. It’s one of the more shallow flowers piped in the lily nail. Don’t push foil more than halfway into the cup.

The Lily looks best when petals are more pointed. If petals split while piping, slightly widen tip with a thin spatula. Or, add a teaspoon of piping gel to 1 cup stiff royal icing.
Sunflower

Petunia
Difficulty: Somewhat Difficult
For proper spacing of Petunia petals, try this trick. Pipe tip 103 dots of icing on top of lily nail, dividing in 5ths. Visualize the points of a star. Pipe each petal centered over its dot.
