This springtime flower is virtually the same as the wild rose, but uses a smaller tip. Pipe apple blossoms about the size of a penny and dry them on flower formers.

instructions

Step 1

Attach waxed paper square to the top of flower nail with dot of icing. Use Petal Decorating Tip 101 and hold bag at a 45° angle to Flower Nail No. 7 with wide end of tip touching nail center, narrow end pointed out and raised 1/8 in. away from nail surface.

Step 2

Squeeze bag and turn nail slowly as you move tip 1/8 in. out from nail center and back, relaxing pressure as you return to starting point. Each petal’s width should be 1/5 of total flower size.

Step 3

Repeat procedure to make 4 more petals. Use Round Decorating Tip 1 to add 5 dots in flower center. Place in flower formers to dry. When completely dry, remove waxed paper square from flower.
