It's hard to get that old leaf tip to make a pointed end on your petals. The trick I've learned is just after I've piped all my petals i go back with slightly damp fingers and "pinch" the end of each petal between my thumb and forefinger to make it a point!! Works everytime!! thumbs_up.gif
Good Luck!!
