Cupcake roses using a flower tip

  • Twist the icing bag and grip between your thumb and index finger. Place the other hand at the bottom of the bag and use this to guide the tip.
  • Starting in the middle of the cake let the icing fall onto the cake. Then pipe over this icing in a spiral action, over piping what you already piped by about a millimetre or two. When you reach the end of your swirl and you have covered the cake release and gently pull.
  • Sometimes the join is quite neat, however if it isn't you can use a sugar flower or leaf to cover it.
