They were pretty but the petals were jagged like carnations...is my icing too stiff?

2 things I learned when my roses looked like cabbages icon_sad.gif

Yes, your icing is probably too stiff. Thin it a bit and also you could try to add some piping gel. I just used thinner and it worked pretty well.

The other thing is make sure the tip is opened all the way. I struggled and struggled with mine and then went and bought another 104 I think it was from Michaels and it made a huge difference.

Good luck!

That just happened to me this week!! I figured that my icing was a bit too stiff. The edges were all jagged and looked more like carnations!!
