What nozzle do you use for your roses? They look amazing

Hiya, I used a petal nozzle simular to this




check out youtube for tutorial. This is my second attempt doing roses and I am getting better. Tip - make sure your butter cream is well chilled for the petals to stand up. I used a little white in the bag with my pink which gives a hint in the edges of the petals. You could use any combo really.

Hi Owlet

Thanks for the replies going to have a go at the flowers could you tell me where you got your stand from please
Thanks

No prob awsome, It was from ebay, the seller is weddingacrylics. I bought the five tier stand because you can use as many of the tiers as you want, so I thought it made sense. I used four in the end. It looked great, I was very pleased with it. I think it the stand was £18 and there was a choice of delivery options.

Your roses are gorgeous bindiboo, I am going to have to try those when I get some time to play. I have seen it on youtube too and I am sure I have got that nozzle. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Ladies

Could I ask for some ideas please? I need to make some small suare cakes the same size as maybe making them in bean tins but dont know what to use to bake them in. Think these are a little pricey

TIA

What shapes do you mean? If you go on eBay and search "football cutters" there are a lot of different shaped footie cake decorating things.

Hi
Stardrops42 made a cake with a half a football on top I was planning at the tome to make a football cke for my ds so I asked her how she did the black and white shapes her husband made templates out of cardboard for it.
I made a footie pitch with half a football in the middle by baking the cake in a pyrex dish and finding pitures of the shapes on google images. I then traced the shapes by holding paper up to the screen.
I used these as templates on roled out icing. The mikst tricky thing is working out where they go but you could copy the pattern from a football or image on google

this is exactly what i was looking for, ill have a look now for the shapes and trace them out. Ive managed to bake the cake last night in a pirex dish and was going to ice it tonight. can i ask did you ice it in which and then just stick the black shapes on to it or did you cut out all teh shapes and jigsaw them together IYGWIM.

Thanks
