1. - Fit a decorating bag with petal tip 59 filled no more than ½ full of medium consistency royal icing.
2. - Attach a waxed paper square to a flower nail, then pipe four tiny rounded petals using the petal tip flower method. Pipe several 4-petal flowers for each lilac cluster. Let them dry thoroughly.
3. - Using buttercream icing, make a base for the lilac cluster on your cake or treat. Pipe a tip 32 elongated shell. The tail/tip of the shell will be the top of the lilac cluster. You can over pipe on the shell for more dimension when making a larger cluster.
4. - Attach dry petals to the shell with dots of icing, covering completely, forming a lilac cluster of flowers.
5. - Using tip 352, pipe leaves at the top of the cluster of flowers.
6. - Using a round tip 2, pipe stems on either side of the cluster to connect additional clusters of flowers.
