Hi everyone! In this video, I am going over some simple, beginner friendly floral cookies you can make using STIFF royal icing.
When making florals, you want to ,make sure you use STIFF royal icing to achieve crisper edges, and so that the flowers hold their shape.
To make these simple flowers, I used:
-open star tip
-closed star tip
-104 petal tip
-Curved petal tip
For the rosettes, you want to start in the center of the cookie and work your way around until covering the surface of the cookie. When you get to the end, don’t pull the piping bag straight up, instead release pressure as your getting towards the end and pull to the side. Clean up the edge or end point if needed with a scribe.
Next, when using petal tips, it is best to always hold the narrow end of the tip upwards and the wider end touching the surface of the cookie. This will achieve a more realistic flower/petals.
For the daisy, I used a petal tip but in this case, I use the tip with the narrow end touching the base of the cookie and the wider upwards to give a more rounded edge for our daisy.
To achieve 2 toned flowers, you add two icing colors into a piping bag, one color on opposite sides from each other. You can do this technique with any tip. In this specific video, I show this using the 104 petal tip. For this example, I wanted to have the yellow color in the inner part of the flower, so I made sure I aligned the icing bag with the side that had the yellow icing to the wide end of the petal tip and the white icing aligned to the narrow end of the tip. This would give my flower more dimension creating a yellow hue in the inside of the flower and the white on the outer edge of the petals.
I hope you try making these cute & simple flowers. Don’t be afraid to have fun, test out different tips, and color combinations.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section and I will be happy to answer them.
Thank you for watching!
