[angeleyes3250]

I cant seem 2 get the right consistency of icing to make the roses...........yous seems pretty thin and creamy. When I have mine like that it falls down and then when i have it stiffer, the end of petals are all jagged.....PLEASE HELP:(

[MulaMan]

this video helped alot! Thank you so much!

[lindsey47646]

If you don't have a nail, the bottom of a champagne glass works just as well.

[helenkwan25]

Oooh i love the peachy color at the end =D

[18p324]

maybe you should try to use a plastic piping bag they help thr icing from craking and it seems that if you use them you don't have to press that hard

[cakegirl777777777777]

To make a rose, first you need for the bud to be higher, then you make 3-5-7 petals.

yep looks like a "wilton" rose lol

[crazyAZNshara]

I was almost gonna say it was ugly, but then it turned out decent. I just think the petals should have been more strong and solid. It would have given it a tighter, more realistic and sophisticated touch. It almost ended up looking like a Wal-Mart rose... ew. :(

Keep practicing! :)

[jgsisof3]

To rehanailyas: she was making the rose on a rose tip thing or something like that (i forgot what it was called) you can get it in the baking isle of a craft store. it s purposely used for making roses

[rehanailyas]

I didn't get what you werre makiung it on, is it liike a macth stick that your holding?

[JustCallMeKeebler]

It's called a rose nail. It's pretty much a small round disc that's been welded onto the top of a carpenters nail.

[pppinkerton]

I love that you are listening to Sleater Kinney; and one

of my favorite songs too. You rock.

[54spiritedwill54]

ohh so pretty !! really interesting!

[jamgirlbabe]

What a lovely rose. Though I think pink roses are to die for when it comes to cake decorating.

[DjigitkaEdina]

lool ))))

[fun2collect]

What tip would u use to create the rose?

[lossunbearable]

104, it seems like thats th one most ppl use

[iSonador]

104 o:

[NickJLover95]

do u freeze them so u can make them a few days in advance?

[GlompableCuteness]

Wow, it's so much easier to understand watching someone do it than trying to read directions for it.

[disneyprincess1994]

Do 3 petals on the first row instead of four.

[lauralarsen3]

Your frosting is to dry. Other then that you have the right idea

[jojoloveS2]

my aunt is trying to do that

[frcombi]

very pretty, but you cheated a little. You made the base with the petal tip

[alcndh]

Most cake decorating classes teach it that way!

[frcombi]

actually, you make the base with the round tip and then use the petal tip. Wilton teaches it that way

[Serenity0047]

But if you make the base with the petal tip then you don't have to make a second bag or change tips or anything. When the rose is finished you would never be able to tell which tip you used to make the base.

[frcombi]

True but it doesn't look right, I've tried it and the whole rose/base etc is too wide

[v0larevia]

geez, you made it seems so easy!

i've been trying to pipe a single full bloom for hours and i still couldn't get it right.

i don't know.. maybe my buttercream is too stiff.

[sing4ever132]

Do you need lots of experience to make a flower?

[xXlavigne123Xx]

YUM :]

[nabihasherif1]

thanks for sharing,,your rose looks really nice

[monkeyrocks123]

she make it look so easy and fun. but i wish i have the right tool

[tcbubbles]

You have overfilled your piping bag. Your petals should be shorter. You need to keep the wide end of the tip touching the base portion of your rose.

Try using a tip #97 to make the petals. It gives the petals a nice curl. Good luck with the wedding cake.

[chitownsbabyphat]

Confectioners sugar, Powdered sugar and Icing sugar are all the same thing, Most of the time you can find them at local grocery stores.

[mathgrl5]

i might make one

[rabbitsrock07]

Lovely! Great, now I want some cake. ^.^

[monilove6]

Very nice!! You are very talented!!

[JesusLovesBBQ]

confectioner sugar, lol

[bakingwild]

Yes they do sell it in regular stores in the baking section close to the regular sugar, they sell it in the grocery stores where I live and I am pretty sure they sell it at stop and shop. However If you can't find it, just take 1 cup of regular sugar put it in a coffee grinder and grind it till it is a powder and mix in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. I haven't tried that myself but my friend who also bakes uses that as a substitute for icing sugar all the time and she says it works out pretty good

The simplest way to thicken icing is add a tablespoon or two of icing sugar, that is the only way I usually thicken my icing sometimes I put it in the refrigerator for a half hour or so but only if my icing has a lot of butter in it. But I don't advise chilling the icing before i ice the cake with it and i am planning to cover it with fondant because as the icing comes to room temperature it will make a bulge underneath the fondant. But the best way is to add more icing sugar. Hope that helps!

[ramarama82]

I have a special trick. I cut up parchment into a bunch of little squares. Then I put a small amount of icing on the nail (just enough to make the parchment stick). Then I make my rose on the parchment paper. When done I lift the rose off the the nail using the edges of the parchment paper. I put them all on a cookie sheet and freeze them and then once they are frozen they peel off of the paper easily. I find this keeps their shape the best.

[bakingwild]

That's a really good idea! Thanks! I was actually planning to make a cake for my mom (because I forgot to when it her birthday! yikes!) and she really likes roses and when I make roses I am ALWAYS worried that somehow someone when trying to take something out of the fridge they will ruin the shape of the roses. So thank you very much for that tip, I will keep that in mind when I make the cake tomorrow!^_^

[10lilkitty]

@ramarama82 u do exactly the way i do it amnd i never did watch ur vid til now lol

[pinkpolkaspot]

@ramarama82 thats a good idea! ive always just used the wilton flower scissors/lifter.

[bakingwild]

Some people use a spatula but its better to use a thing called a rose lifter I think but if you don't have that then its all good just use a pair of big scissors and "snip" it off the rose nail. ^_^ hope that helps

[mskerripa]

ohh so pretty !!

really interesting! thanks for posting!

[kickally453]

yeah it is easier to do it with royal icing. and btw u might want to get the air pockets out of the bag because then it wont get the riped petal look

[ramarama82]

How do you do that? (This is my first attempt and I haven't tried it again since.)

[JeffKellySophie]

Did you end up making your wedding cake? How did your cake turn out, I'd love to see a picture of it! You did a nice job on the rose, I thought it was very pretty for just a practice one!

[JeffKellySophie]

I guess kneading the bag might do it. Mainly, you need to make sure the icing isn't too dry if it's been sitting out. You can always add a splash of milk to it.

[JeffKellySophie]

I find that buttercream works better for me, but it can't be too soft, sometimes I chill it for just a bit.

[sgtstacy]

yah, but some people like that look

[IhearttheTrio]

Thats good have you ever tried it with a stiff Royal Icing or making them with fondat or gum past, it is alot easier

[gummyapple3]

very good

[kala989]

Oooh... that's pretty.

[poochie4girls]

Thats great, I just learned how to make them last night.

[kuramahieikuramahiei]

Hey nice rose! If you don't mind my asking, what is the name of the song in the background?

[CeruleanCandyDos]

Looks great. If you don't mind me saying, the icing bag will be easier to control if it's only about half full.

[FreakGirl9869]

thats amazing, they look incredible.

[acc105103]

thanks, it really helped ^_^
