I watched countless videos and I have to tell you I am terrible at making roses. I just could not get the movement down right. However after just a few minutes of your video mine looked 100x better than before. Thank you so very much for making this video.
Hi Michelle, you are so very welcome!I’m so happy to hear that you found it helpful! I also struggled with roses when I started piping and couldn’t find the right type of tutorial so I started making videos and my buttercream flower piping series to help others!
@@CookieSweets Well you are doing well and as my chef tells me practice practice practice makes a good cake decorator. I just wanna say thanks so much for the video and the replay you're an angel.
I agree 100%. Thank you, Cookie Sheets & Sweets. Instead of just showing how to do it, your detailed narration is so so helpful. For me, I’ve finally (finally!) found an explanation of how to the vary the angles of the piping tip on the outer rows. Fantastic help for beginners.
This is the best explanation and tutorial ever. I have tried countless times to pipe flowers with no success after watching and reading other resources. This was so simple and I can’t thank you enough!
This is one the best tutorials I've ever seen on RUclips! I do a variety of different arts and anytime I need to learn a new technique, I come to RUclips. There are SO many "tutorials" filled with fluff, useless information, story-telling, and sometimes even incorrect information. It bloats and overloads the lesson being taught and it gets so frustrating at times to find a tutorial that is quick and to the point. YOUR VIDEO IS PERFECT! You didn't overshare or add verbiage unnecessary to the video, showed the technique more than once AND took it slow the first time for us to really examine the technique. I LOVE how clear and concise this tutorial is and anyone looking to make tutorial videos should take note! Beautiful flowers and decor skills as well! 10/10
Thank you so much for your kind and informative comment, you truly made my day! My goal has always been to create the shortest video possible while still including the information necessary to successfully learn the skill, as I too get frustrated with many "tutorials" on RUclips. I am so glad that you enjoyed the format of the video!
This is the best instruction I have ever seen on how to do a rose. When you showed and said to do the arching motion, now I get it. I now believe I can actually do it. Your video was meticulously done. I thank you so much! New sub!!!
Your comment made my morning! My first attempts at rose piping were not great, but it really does get easy with practice. So happy that you enjoyed the tutorial! 😊
Is the above recipe what you use to make the roses? I can't seem to find any frosting recipe or consistency that works. It's either too soft to hold a shape or too stringy or too hard to get through the tube. There has to be a secret to this and I can't seem to find it.
Yes, it is the icing recipe that I use for my flowers. I find that the temperature of the buttercream is very important. If its too thick I use the heat from my hands on the piping bag to warm up the icing a little bit. If its getting too soft I will place the piping bag into the fridge for a few minutes to allow it to cool a bit. Hope this helps!
Might be a dumb question, but what do you do with the rose on the parchemin paper afterwards? Do I just leave it on the parchemin paper and place the paper on the cake, or do I somehow detach it from the parchemin paper then place it on the cake?
That’s a great question! I usually place the flowers into the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes and then you can slide them off the parchment squares using a small metal spatula or decorating scissors and place them onto your cakes or cupcakes! Hope this helps answer your question
I used to be able to flower roses, having difficulty now, I wished you had gone further after you piped and how long to let dry and take off parchment paper
I tried some of your video tutorial and I can say it's good for a first timer like me 😂 tho I can't get the perfect shaped flowers but it's okay I just need more practice. I love your works btw ❤️
Awe, thank you so much! Your comment made my day! 😁 It does get easier with practice, I promise.. my first few attempts at flower piping were very unsuccessful haha. So happy that you’re enjoying the tutorials 😊
You have such a Beautiful Soft Voice that it is hard to hear you with the background music Leave out the background noise/music... We just want to HEAR YOU TALK. Thank you for sharing this great video.
I wish you showed the actual angles you we talking about before doing those petals. I'm such a noob so that would of really helped I think. Other than that, helpful video. Thank you.
I use the icing recipe that I have included in the description to pipe my flowers. Temperature of your hands or the room temperature can affect the consistency of the buttercream. If it seems too thin/soft I like to chill my piping bag of buttercream for a few minutes to allow it to firm up a bit!
I have tried so many batches and mine suck. The never stay strong and tall. It just flattens. When i adf more sugar it just gets them fatter and flatter. I so need help
Thank you for your kind words. Here is the link to the buttercream recipe video. The full written recipe is also in the description box! ruclips.net/video/VV0Zh_jGLKI/видео.html
Hello! Attaching the roses to the side of the cake can be tricky depending on the placement. It is important to chill the flowers so that they are easier to handle. I like to attach them on the sides along the bottom of the cake, or cascading down the side. For both of these options you can pipe buttercream to use as the “glue” to attach them to the cake. If you’re doing the cascading roses, start at the bottom and work your way up the side using the lower flowers to help hold the upper flowers. If you’re wanting to attaching individual flowers along the sides of the cake in a scattered pattern I would recommend using a flat flower instead of the 3D roses as they are quite heavy. I hope this helps answer your question!
Hi! I chill my finished flowers in the fridge for 10-20 minutes, which allows them to firm up, making them less likely to break. I have a tool called a flower lifter which I use to transfer the flowers to my cakes/cupcakes. To attach them I use a small dab of buttercream. Hope this helps!
I use the parchment so that I can pipe multiple flowers and then place them on a sheet to set in the fridge or freezer to allow them to firm up before applying to my cakes. You can also transfer them directly from the piping nail to the cake if you prefer!
Hi Tracy. The angles are the part I struggle the most to explain, but I will try my best. Increasing the angle is pulling the top (narrow) end of your tip further away from the flower while keeping the other (wide) end in the same spot near the base. So when I say increase to a 45 degree angle I'm talking about the angle of your tip in relation the the center base that you have piped. If holding your bag perpendicular to the base would be 0 degrees, slowly pull the top of the tip back (while leaving the bottom at the base) until its around 45 degrees. I hope this helps! I will do my best to make a more in depth video better explaining the angles soon. Thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunately buttercream made with only butter completely melts around 36°C/97°F. I wouldn’t recommend having it out in above 25°C heat, as it starts to lose its shape/texture. If you substitute 1/2 of the butter for vegetable shortening it will hold up a little better, the melting point of shortening is higher than that of butter. Hope that helps!

What can be used in place of a flower nail?
Nzuri😍😘
Thank you!
What kind of cream do you use here?
What is the little round holder you use to make the rose on called please. I have seen these being used and have no idea what they are called.
They’re called flower nails
How do u make Ur butter cream thicker mine always seems too thin xx

How do the roses stay on side of the cake and not fall off

what size flower nail is this? 1.5 diameter or 3?
Hello, in this video I am using a 2.5" diameter flower nail, my apologies for the late response!
Hello, thank you for this tutorial, but how do you put these on cakes without them breaking?
Hi! I chill my finished flowers in the fridge for 10-20 minutes, which allows them to firm up, making them less likely to break. I have a tool called a flower lifter which I use to transfer the flowers to my cakes/cupcakes. To attach them I use a small dab of buttercream. Hope this helps!
@@CookieSweets Thank you sm!!
You’re so very welcome!!
What is the parchment paper for?
I use the parchment so that I can pipe multiple flowers and then place them on a sheet to set in the fridge or freezer to allow them to firm up before applying to my cakes. You can also transfer them directly from the piping nail to the cake if you prefer!
@@CookieSweets that’s I figured but I wanted to make sure. Thank you! This video is super helpful ☺️
no problem, I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
When you say angle your tip up and then out, Im not getting it! Your hand placement looks like it doesn't move.

Hai… is this buttercream can stand hot weather?
Unfortunately buttercream made with only butter completely melts around 36°C/97°F. I wouldn’t recommend having it out in above 25°C heat, as it starts to lose its shape/texture. If you substitute 1/2 of the butter for vegetable shortening it will hold up a little better, the melting point of shortening is higher than that of butter. Hope that helps!
The sound quality is bad..
My apologies. This was one of my first videos, the sound quality has definitely improved in future tutorials. I really appreciate the feedback.
You need to speak up.
My apologies, this was an early video. I promise that the audio levels are better in future tutorials!
