I’m telling you I am absolutely AWFUL at making flowers! LOL I spent hours trying to make ribbon roses and those things looked like yarn strings strewn about ??
I’ll have to keep working on it. I really want all different kinds of pretty flowers to add to my cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate covered marshmallows and even chocolate covered pretzels….because even sprinkles need to play dress-up sometimes too!
I’ll keep watching the videos and keep practicing! Thanks for always sharing such great tips!

Hy Alyssa,

You will have to freeze them for a few minutes so you can transfer them to the cake or cupcakes without harming the shape of the flowers. 😉

Hi! Do the flowers harden up enough on their own or do you have to freeze the flowers?

Hi Joan,

You really should use your flower nail. It makes making flowers simple. And if you mess up, just scrape the icing in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. It can be used again later. I hope you try it because with your decorating skills you will make gorgeous flowers!

Hi Janis,

I like unexpected things when decorating. Years ago no one would have thought about making surprise cakes full of M&M’s, but now they are everywhere! Unexpected is often fun! 🙂

I like the idea of giving the rose an unexpected center….the unopened flower/bud may be what is taught and well known, but mixing it up and throwing in the unexpected is really nice. Thanks for sharing your creativity! Hope all is well. 🙂
