Easier To Make Buttercream Roses On A Stick Or Nail?

Hey Amy~
When you have your rose on a dowel stick or on the flower nail (that wilton makes) you slip the point (the v part) of the nail under your rose. You can either sit the rose right onto a cake or sit it on wax paper to let it dry. When you are slipping it off of the nail use the dowel stick that you used to make the rose. It's small enough to get under the rose without messing the rose up. Hope that helps Amy~
Okay, makes sense now. Wilton makes scissors for that!! I think I'd like the tip you use better! I'll have to look for one! Thanks for the explanation! I use a plastic fork with the 2 right side tines broken off to get my roses off the stick. Using a stick to do roses is a lot faster than using a nail, no wax paper to cut. I think the trick to doing them on a stick is that your consistency needs to be right and be sure to attach each petal to the stick when you start piping it. Think of piping an upside-down U.

I only use wax paper to do my roses if im going to freeze them. Otherwise they go from the nail straight to the cake. I use the Wilton flower lifter, it's very fast. No wax paper

I used the wilton scissors & my roses would always fall right off onto the cake 
So glad I found this new rose remover thingy. It doesn't really have a name I guess. I just love it! Glad I could explain it Amy~
I still don't understand how you use this! How do you get it on the cake???
