Struggling with buttercream flowers Tips to pipe perfect buttercream flowers! - ZIBAKERIZ

Hi , everyone .

Welcome to my channels , bakeries where I show you how to create beautiful decorated cakes and cupcakes .

So I'm going to get started right into it .

So I have some chocolate cupcakes and I have some piping bags that I've already filled and added the piping tips .

And I'm just going to show you each one in detail .

So I got this beautiful green shade with chef masters , green and brown gel food coloring .

And over here , I have an open round tip , which is a tip number 12 by Wilton .

The second piping tip that I'm showing you .

I've actually colored this a nice white gel food coloring to my butter cream .

And I've actually used the Wilton tip number 81 and you can see it has a little bit of a U shape .

That's the piping tip .

You want to use .

The third piping tip is um I got this beautiful dark blue shade using Chef masters blue gel food coloring .

And the tip that I'm actually using is a Wilton tip number two D .

So you can see it kind of has a shape of a flower and this is a Wilton tip two d the fifth piping tip that I'm showing you is this beautiful pink shade and I actually got this beautiful shade using a Chef masters pink gel food coloring with a little bit of peach .

And you can see it's a Wilton tip number 103 .

So it has a narrow end and a little bit of a wider end .

And lastly , the last color that I got was this beautiful fuchsia shade using the fu gel food coloring and a little bit of pink and peach .

And you can see it also has a narrow tip on the top and a broad tip um at the bottom .

And this is a Wilton tip number 104 .

And I've actually added a couple on four of the pipe being tips , um piping bags except for the dark blue and that's so we can actually switch around the different colors .

So over here , I also have some extra piping tips .

This is the Walton 3 60 six , which is a leaf tip as well as a Walton tip number three and a Wilton tip number two , which are both round tips as well as a tip number 67 which is a leaf tip and a Wilton tip number 102 , which is a small rose petal tip .

So we're going to start off by taking our chocolate cupcake and our Wilton tip number two D with the dark blue shade and we're going to add pressure in the center of the cupcake go counter clockwise .

And once you reach the end where you started , you want to release .

So this is actually the very basic rosette cupcake design .

I'm actually going to keep getting more and more advanced as I show you different roses and flowers to pipe on your cupcake .

But this is a super simple and basic one where you add pressure in the center go counterclockwise and release .

Now to make the hydrous , you want to take that same piping tip , add pressure and then lift .

You want to keep doing that same method of adding pressure and lifting up while you are going all the way , all the way around your cupcake .

So you can see this gives a very nice , beautiful hydrangeas .

Look to your cupcake .

It's super simple .

Now , I'm going to follow that same method of filling in the center of your cupcake at this point , you could actually leave it or you could have also done a two toned hydrangeas cupcake as well .

But what I'm actually going to do is take that tip number 81 that was on the white butter cream .

And that's why I mentioned that couplers are really important .

I'm just taking the Wilton tip number three and I'm just going to place it on top .

So you can see how easy it is to have these couplers .

You can actually switch your piping tips to choose different colors .

So definitely keep that in mind .

So now I'm just going to fill in the center of where the hydran is .

Um actually created a little um in word dot So I'm just going to fill that up with these little dots just so it looks like a nice , beautiful bouquet if you want , you can completely add sprinkles instead or if you want , you could have actually created a two tone hydran flower as well .

Now , moving on to the next cupcake design , I'm actually going to be creating a Zenia .

So over here , I have the Wilton tip number 103 and I'm going to create this kind of this upward motion .

Then pull down .

You want to create these small little motions , creating these small little pedals .

And you want to keep following that same technique of holding on an angle and kind of pulling inwards .

You're going to create small little pedals going all the way around your cupcake .

So you want to make sure that just keep a consistent head while you keep turning your cupcake .

And you can see , I'm kind of holding my piping tip at an angle .

You want to do that .

So you actually are creating your pedals a little bit at an angle .

Once you've went all the way around , now , you want to overlap halfway on your previous pedals and you want to keep following that same motion of applying pressure and then going down .

So you want to just keep doing that and I'm actually creating these small little pedals .

And that's because I'm actually using a smaller piping tip .

If you used a larger piping tip , like a tip number 104 , you would actually get larger pedals .

So you will start to notice that because you are overlapping , your piping tip will actually start to angle upwards more at like a 45 degree angles .

So as you get closer to the center , so at this point , you could go all the way to the center , but I'm actually going to fill the center with some white butter cream .

It doesn't matter what color you do , it's completely your choice and you don't want to stress out , just have fun with the process .

So I'm actually just going to take that tip number 12 that was on the green piping bag .

And I'm just going to place this on top of my white piping bag .

And I'm actually just going to fill in the center of this Zinia .

So you just want to hold your piping bag straight at a little bit of pressure and then release and at this point , you could leave it like this as well .

But what I'm actually going to do is I'm actually going to take this dark pink fusion shade and I'm actually going to take that off and I'm actually showing you how important these coupler are when you actually go to piping your butter cream flowers because having couplers on your piping bag actually allows you to constantly keep switching up your colors and creating multiple different designs without having to fill up multiple different pipings .

So you definitely want to keep this tip in mind .

So you can see what I'm doing is taking the Wilton tip number three , I'm kind of applying pressure and then lifting up and I did this all around the sides in the center of the cupcake .

And now you can see wherever there is that remaining white butter cream , you're actually going to fill all of that with the same method .

And once the entire center is filled , now I'm going to show you the next cupcake .

So now I'm actually going to show you how to create a rose .

So I'm actually taking a Wilton tip number 104 .

And you can see in the center , I've created kind of like this triangle dome and this is actually going to give us height to our rows .

So you want to make sure you're piping tip , the narrow side is facing up and the wide side is facing down .

And then you want to create a small spiral in the center of your cupcake , then you want to create small pedals .

So I like to create three in the center .

So I've created one .

Now , I'm going to create the second pedal and then the third .

Now , wherever the two pedals are overlapping , that's where you're going to make your next pedal So I like to create um odd numbers .

So 357 .

Also another thing to keep in mind when you are creating your rose petals is that your piping tip will actually be more straight when you're in the center of your rose .

But as you start to create more and more rose petals , you'll start to notice that your piping tip should actually start to angle a little bit more just like a real rosette .

And that just kind of gives more of a realistic rose where it starts to be tight in the center and then it starts to open up and bloom on the side .

So you can see at this point , my piping tip has angled a lot more and that's giving me more of an open rose .

You're going to follow that same technique by holding it on one side and pulling down .

And by the end of it , once you're happy with all of your rose petals , you're going to end up with a beautiful rose that's closed on the inside and it opens up slowly just like a real rosette .

Now , I'm going to show you how to create a beautiful buttercream car .

So you want to hold your piping tip , making a U and you want to hold it from the side of your cupcake and lift up .

So the edge of your cupcake liner will give you a little bit of support .

So you just want to do this nice and slowly holding near the edge of the cupcake liner and lifting up .

You want to do this all the way around your cupcake and then once you complete the edge of your cupcake , then you're going to repeat the same process um of doing it on the inside , overlapping halfway on your previous pedal following that same method of holding and lifting up .

So I have gotten a lot of requests to share with you guys buttercream floral cupcake design .

So that is what I'm sharing with you guys .

But if there is something in particular , a cupcake design or a cake design , you guys would like to see from me .

Leave that in the comment section down below .

I love hearing your suggestions .

And if you aren't already subscribed to my channel , please do so since I upload a new video each week and hit that bell notification .

So you guys don't miss out and back to the video tutorial .

So I actually have a full video of how I created this cupcake .

So I will actually link that in the icon above , so you can check that out as well .

Now , on to the next cupcake , I'm actually using a Walton tip number 104 with that same white butter cream and I'm actually going to be creating an enemy , which basically you're going to hold your buttercream at your piping tip at an angle and kind of create this wiggle and kind of like a heart design .

So you want to hold it in the center , your piping bag , your piping tip , and then kind of create that wiggle motion of a heart shaped and turn your cupcake .

You want to keep doing that all around the edge of your cupcake .

And you just want to create that heart design while you are actually moving and turning your cupcake .

Once you've done that , you want to create a smaller version overlapping your previous pedals .

So again , holding on an angle and kind of creating a back and forth motion kind of in the shape of a heart .

Once you've gone all around , you want to take the Wilton tip number 12 with the green buttercream and fill that in the center and taking your Wilton tip number three , we're going to create small little dots all the way around the edge of the green butter cream .

And this is pretty much going to give you a nice realistic effect to your anemi flower .

So you just want to do this nice and slowly and you can see it ends up with this very nice , realistic , beautiful , elegant butter cream flower .

It's really nice and ruffled and elegant .

So now on to the next buttercream flower , this is going to be a triple rosette flower or a triple bouquet flower .

So I'm actually going to be creating three of the roses flowers .

I've shown you before starting off with the rose and I actually added a tip number 102 to this beautiful pink buttercream and same method , you create the spiral in the center and then you create small petals in the center and you want to make sure that as you start to bloom your rose , you actually start to angle out your petals and you just want to do this nice and slowly and you want to kind of fill up your cupcake one third of the way .

So you have room for your other two butter cream flowers .

So once you're happy with how your rose looks , then I'm going to actually take my Wilton tip number 81 which I use for the chrysanthemum and create a chrysanthemum um next to the rose as well .

So you want to apply pressure and lift .

So you've created about three and then you're going to kind of keep turning your cupcake and follow that same method of applying pressure and lifting up .

You do want to make sure that your butter cream is a little bit more stiff .

Otherwise , if your butter cream isn't very firm , it will actually result in your flour .

Um your petals kind of just uh not holding their shape and standing upright .

So you want to make sure that your butter cream is nice and firm .

So add pressure and lift and you want to keep adding petals based on how large you want your butter cream chrysanthemum flour to look like .

So once you're happy with the amount of flowers and petals and how your flower actually looks like .

And what you're going to do is you're going to take your Wilton tip number two D and we're going to create a rosette .

So , add pressure and go counterclockwise and relief just like I showed you when I created a larger rosette on the entire cupcake .

So now I'm going to take a little bit of that butter cream of that green shade .

I actually put that into a separate piping bag fitted with the Wilton tip number 3 66 which was the leaf tip .

And I'm actually going to fill in the gaps with these leaves .

So you want to hold it with the shape of the beak and create this back and forth of wiggle motion while you release .

So this is actually going to give you that rippled leaf effect .

So you want to hold it and then kind of move back and forth and kind of release and that's going to give you this beautiful floral leaf bouquet .

So at this point , you could just leave it with the leaves .

But what I'm actually going to do is I'm going to take that fuchsia buttercream shade and I'm actually going to apply a Wilton tip number , uh 21 which is this small open star tip .

And I'm just going to add that on top of that piping bag and just using the coupler tighten that in place and then fill in the bouquet here and there with some of those beautiful fuchsia drop flowers .

So you don't want to add too many .

Just a couple and it basically just adds a little bit more um butter cream flour designs to your flower bouquet .

So you don't have to add just um too many , just a few .

And this is pretty much how you create a beautiful triple floral bouquet with the three different types of flowers I showed earlier .

So these were all of the different types of flowers that I showed you starting off with some of the more basic buttercream flowers .

And I showed a little bit more of the intermediate with the enemy and then a little bit more advanced with the rose and the chrysanthemum and the triple bouquet .
