Apples

A great party pick. You can pipe the royal icing fruit in advance, including stems and leaves. At serving time, just position as needed on your iced cake or cupcake. Or make your fruit directly on your cake in buttercream icing.

instructions

Step 1

Fit the decorating bag with Round Decorating Tip 6 and fill 1/2 full with medium consistency icing. Hold the bag and tip slightly at 90° angle, slightly above the surface of your cake.

Step 2

Pipe a large ball with red icing, stop squeezing, lifting the tip slightly, bringing the end of the tip to the surface. Use the edge of the tip to shave off any points, so your ball is nicely rounded.
