The decorating lessons are certainly getting more challenging. We learnt multiple complex techniques today that we need to exhibit on our finale cake next week.
Out of the 10+ piping techniques taught so far – Rosette is definitely my favourite.
[LEFT] The Ribbon Rose – Another compulsory technique that we need to use on the finale cake.
[RIGHT] I bought a tub of decorator icing (which is one of the best medium for roses) to practice. I plan to make dozens of white roses sometime this week to perfect the technique!
Cupcake decoration using various piping techniques–
[LEFT] The Shaggy Mum – I so love the messy hair look. 😛
[RIGHT] Rosette & Standup Leaf – A classic design.
Look forward to my finale cake next week – I’m thinking of a black & white theme. 🙂

Hi K!
Woww….can you teach me how to pipe when I get back? I wanna learn how to make ribbon roses, too!
Is the decorator icing of the same texture as marzipan and fondant?
See you real soon,
P
Oh yes, and….SHAGGY MUM…..ROFL!
Hi P,
Definitely. I’m sure you would like piping – It’s very addictive! 😛
The icing texture is a little similar to fondant. Flowers require a stiff medium so that they can stand.
And yes the Shaggy mum- the tip for this is soooo cute! I have to show you!
Seeya very soon!!! 🙂
