I have been getting a lot of pm's aksing how to make these, When the site went down so did my instructions so here is a basic rundown on how to make these. Sorry it took so long to get these up. Check my gallery for more photos of my topical flower cakes.
basically using a 124 rose tip make a 5 little blobs in a star pattern..







then to make the petals you start each one 10-20 degree angle with small end of tip up, and go up and over the little blob and end where you started while shaking your hand to get the ripples.









then you can airbrush the center a darker color to draw your eye in, then put your airbrush in low so it spits spots and use some grown to make little spots in the middle, last add the yellow centers to them




try that best i can do for now. thnaks.

Thank you so much for posting this again. Is it safe to assume that these are piped hibiscus?

Theresa

so first you make the little bottom dots...and then use another tip to make the petal...what tip is that? sorry...if u said. cake dummy here...

thanks for sharing

yep at the top it says 124 rose tip np!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

These are stunning - thank you for sharing. I really need to keep practicing my piping skills!

Thanks! lets see some pics of peoples attempts.

Ohh, I love these. Thank you for sharing how you did them.

Thank you so much for doing this. Your flowers are just amazing.

You make it look so easy, I just want to give them a try. Thanks for sharing!

These are fantastic!! I cannot believe they are buttercream - oh, I can't wait to try these out. I am so bad at BC flowers, my roses are always wonky and I really can't do any other flowers.......how pathetic is that?

Thanks for the detailed instructions ~ you are a gem.

Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I like that word "wonky" - my flowers normally turn-out that way as well, so I'm very excited to try these, thank you so much for sharing! If mine turn-out half as good, I will be thrilled!

Thanks ya' all (omg I said ya all and I am from mn) Really not that hard it is all in the arm movement. My suggestion as with learning any sort of butter cream decoration is to break it down. try just making one leaf over and over then work on getting the whole shape together. Oh how I wish I had a vid camera I could make a video..

oh and a side note you can see the differences from the one used for the how to and the finished one, one was a stiffer icing, the stiffer icing works better to hold shape.

These are so lovely! Thank you for posting directions and pictures!

Thanks for the pics..Now I know how they stand out on the cake..I wasn't making the blobs first!!!

Thank you so much for this! I can't wait to try it when I get back home.

Hugs!

Very Nice! One humble tip though (for CenterpieceSweets)...'ya all' is really written y'all (combination of you and all). This southern gal loves to see a y'all slip on here every once in awhile.

love to do those flowers, ill use tip 127, a bit larger and double load the bag, then spray them with pearl dust. i have them on my flamingo cakes.

^ yours look great! I love the pink flamingo cakes.

Thanks much!! I wish you could show it being done on youtube !

Thank you so much for posting these instructions again!!

Thanks for sharing! I hope I get to try these soon!

Ni-i-i-ce! Pretty result, and easy to understand directions. So very summery.

I'm just wondering, is there any way to shrink those pix a bit -- they take up more than my computer screen has space for...
