Strangely, I have two different people who ordered a cake for this weekend with pansies on it! (Is it pansy season?)

Anyhow, I made some with Royal back in cake decorating class (in 1982). I'd like to know if anybody has done them in buttercream and if anybody knows of any tutorials on making them. I already saw Wilton's. It's a drawing. I'd like to see the real thing.

I think you can just follow the directions you used from class making them out of royal, but use buttercream. Then freeze them on their wax paper squares, pop them off frozen and set on your cake.

crisseyann, that's what I thought as they are both piped - only difference is the frosting used. icon_smile.gif

Thanks for the leads. I, too, was hoping I could pipe them on wax paper with bc and then freeze them. I'll try.
