I always pipe my flowers on parchment so they are easy to lift without damaging the petals. Then I place them on a tray in the fridge to chill. If they are firm you will be able to move them and place them easily without damaging your petals and all the wonderful work you've done. I use butter in my recipes so mine get hard enough just by going in the fridge, if you are using shortening you will need to freeze them for this to work. Hope this helps!
typically I chill my flowers first so they are firm and easy to handle then I attach them to the cakes using buttercream, you can use a small spatula or flower lifter to help you place them if you like.
There are a couple of things that can cause this. Some times it's the buttercream, if you have small lumps of sugar that are unmixed it can cause those torn edge looks. Likewise, if the frosting is too firm or cold it can be difficult to produce a steady stream, so make sure it's at a nice temperature for piping before you start. Usually it's just moving too fast to start with. Those small areas on tips are harder for the frosting to pass through evenly so if you are spinning the nail or moving your bag too quickly without squeezing hard enough you will always get torn edges. If you think this is the culprit try slowing down your movements to see if that fixes the problem.

How do you keep your rose petal edges from having jagged edges? It seems that no matter what I do, my rose petals always have jagged edges.

@@CakeDecoratingSchool Thank you so much! I will try moving more slowly. I think I have been spinning the nail too fast.
