Hi, everyone. It's Stephanie from Wilton. We have received
tons of requests to do the buttercream rose,
so that's exactly what I'm going to show you today. It's a little bit more
of an advanced flower. So if you don't get it the
first time you make it, keep practicing. I promise you'll get there. So let's do this. I have a decorating bag prepared
with a tip 12 and stiff icing. Now you can either make
the stiff icing yourself, or Wilton sells it in
this convenient can. So we're going to need
a parchment square. So put a little bit of
icing on your flower nail, and then just put
that square on there. So to start the rose,
we're going to make a cone. That's what the tip 12 is for. So start at the base, and
we're going to start squeezing and apply a lot of pressure. And then kind of relax the
pressure as you build it up. And then stop
squeezing, and pull away to create that cone shape. So you want to make
sure that you've prepared your bag with a coupler
so it makes it really easy to switch out your two tips. All right, so now that
we have our tip 104, we want to make sure that
the thin end of the tip is facing up. So grab your flour
nail, and you want to hold the tip 104 right up
next to it, apply pressure. And as you move it, as you get
about halfway around, go up, and then come back down
to where you started. And that's the
center of our rose. So next, we're going to do
the first row of petals. We're going to get
about three petals. So again, you want the thin
end of tip 104 facing up, and you want the tip
just slightly tilted in. And we're going to
do three petals. And to create a
petal, what you do is you move the flour
nail with your left hand as you go up and
down with your right. So you know the great
thing about the rose is sometimes you have rosebuds. So if you want to just
stop there and have a little rosebud, you can
certainly do that too. Or you can continue
with the next two rows. For the second row of petals,
we're going to get about five. And you want to hold
the tip 104 straight up and down for this one. All right, now we're ready
for our last row of petals. You want to hold the tip
just slightly pointed out. So you kind of get the
idea of the first row is in a little bit. The second row is up. The last row out. Just like in a
flower how the petals are budding-- that's exactly
the look we're going for. All right, and same motion you
did with the first two rows. Now you're going to
get about seven petals. But if you only get
six or you get eight, it doesn't have to be perfect. Flowers in nature
aren't perfect. They're not all the same. So don't drive yourself crazy. Now that we're done, go ahead
and take the parchment square off of the nail, and we're going
to put this on a cookie sheet. We're going to pop it in the
freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes just so it sets up. Now that the roses have
set in the freezer, you can peel them off
the parchment square and just place them on
your treat, and that's it. Like I said before, if you
don't get it the first time, just keep trying. It's really about getting
used to moving the flower nails with one hand while
piping with the other. In the comments below,
tell me what other flowers you'd like to see from us. I'm Stephanie from Wilton. Thanks for watching.
