How to Pipe a Lilac Flower

Skill Level: Intermediate

Nothing says spring like lilacs! Pipe life-like, tiny lilac blossoms in royal icing and attach them in clusters over an elongated shell-shaped base. Crown the top of a cake with a branch of lilacs or make delicately decorated lilac cupcakes. They’ll be the perfect centerpiece for your next spring shower or brunch.

Notes:

For a realistic effect, pipe the flowers in different shades of lavender or purple.
As you design the layout of the lilacs on your cake, remember the point of the shell base should be pointed up to create the shape of the lilac cluster.
