How to make cream flowers for a cake

Cream flowers are the most popular decor options that can be made in both classic and modern styles. To make such a decor, you first need to decide what kind of cream you want to work with: butter-based, custard cream cheese, protein, Brazilian Chantiflex cream or bean paste.

You can color the cream with natural powdered dyes or using fruit juice. By the way, in order for the flowers to look realistic, the cream should not be painted in bright shades. It is better to mix colors, trying to muffle them to achieve natural shades.

To make buttercream flowers, use a piping bag.

Roses

You will need a “petal” nozzle. Rotate the carnation, squeeze out the required amount of cream from the bag to form the petals. To keep them raised, make wave-like movements. In the classical scheme, the bottom row of a rose has 7 petals, the middle one has 5, and the top one has 3. The flower petals in the rows are staggered.

Daisies

Use the same nozzle “petal” of the required size. Position the bag parallel to the base and lift the top of the bag towards you, and place the nozzle with the narrow part down. Squeeze out the cream and make a narrow high arc with your hand, as if drawing a chamomile petal with a pencil. Having made the petals in a circle, fill the middle with yellow cream.

Chrysanthemum

The easiest way is to use the “chrysanthemum” nozzle, and its sizes can be different. First you need to squeeze a cone of cream in the center of the flower. Squeeze out thin green stripes around the top of the cone of the workpiece, which will be the stamens of the flower. Then, with a bag with a chrysanthemum nozzle, squeeze out the petals, slightly leading the bag up. So squeeze out each petal.
