the one thing i like about this video is that he/she actually shows the way to transfer the flower to the cupcake, unlike many other videos which left you wondering what you are going to do with a flower on the flower nail.
@little0boots It's not that you can't pipe directly onto the cupcakes, we just find it's easier to use the stem, allows for easier movement and piping. Also if you don't like the look of the flower it's not stuck to the cupcake!
Use Royal Icing and the flowers will harden no problem and can be used at a later date. Find a good recipe on our website megzcakes.ca or you can buy mix from a bulk foods store or ready made royal icing from Michaels craft store. Good Luck on your wedding cake Resarie85!
Can these be left to dry to use later? I guess similar to gumpaste flowers, I am just not that great with this kind of thing, but I am pretty desperate as a bride on a budget I am making my own cake and I want to incorporate flowers like this.
See my website megzcakes.ca for a buttercream icing recipe, also be sure to check out our cake decorating section for more info on how to create this great red color and many other tips and tricks. All at megzcakes.ca

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO :) Thank you soo much, it was very helpful! can i ask what the quantities are for your icing? i tried getting it to be as thick as yours in your video but it doesn't come out the same :(
we use a variety of different coloring depending on the circumstances. Wilton Brand is our most common choice. However, Club House and Americolor also work great especially when making a nut free cake. Easiest way to get a deep red like this one is to start by adding cocoa to the buttercream icing with the red food coloring.
@megzcakes That's exactly the advice I was looking for. When I use red gel color, my icing always turns out more pink than red. Same with the blue... it comes out a powder blue instead of a deep blue. Would adding cocoa to blue icing give the same deep color for the blue?
@PrincessFlowerAngel Yes you can, same for 102, 101. The only difference is the size of the rose. As long as the tip has a skinny end and a wide end you are good to go! Hope this helps

The nail I use can be bought at Michaels craft store, Walmart or any bulk food store (ie. Bulk Barn)
Online is another option, many cake stores would sell them.

To stiffen any icing, add more icing sugar until you reach the consistency you need.

You could try icing the flower right onto the cupcake. I find that using the flower nail, it is easier to spin when icing on your petals.
