The delicate blossoms of the 5-petal flower are made on a plastic wrap-covered flower nail. The wrap conforms to the shape of petals better than waxed paper and makes lifting easy.
Add textured flowers with the soft look of lace using this easy icing technique. Works best using a square tip brush.
Perfect for classic borders or cloudlike decorations, dots are a versatile technique that can be piped in a range of sizes. The dot technique can be used as a simple border for cakes and cookies, as well as for icing cupcakes or piping meringues.
