Rose flowers are a beautiful decoration to work with when decorating a cake. While they look complicated when you see piped roses in bakeries, piping a rose onto a cake is simpler than it may seem. This basic tutorial will introduce you to the world of icing art, with a simple style of rose to make at home.
Steps
Piping the Rose
Prepare the rose nail. Pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of the rose nail, and then press a small square of wax paper onto the icing, using the icing to hold the paper and nail together.[4]
Make the rose's center. Place the tip of the pastry bag with the rose tip onto the rose nail, with the wide end touching the wax paper. Spin the nail in a full circle to make a cone shape. You will need to synchronize your hand movements so that you're moving as fast as the icing is coming out.[5]
Make the first layer of petals around the cone. Make each petal a little bit higher than the center, and make each third the circumference of the rose center, so that you can have three petals total.[6]
Make the second layer of petals. This layer will have five petals total. Keep on making the petals higher than the others so that they arc upwards and outwards. Also, try to overlap the petals to make them look natural.
Make the final layer of petals. This one should consist of about seven evenly spaced petals. If you want a larger rose, you can continue to add layers.Advertisement

Community AnswerYes. As long as it does not interrupt the cycle, you may choose any color that exists. - QuestionHow long will the rose take to make?Community AnswerIt depends on your coordination, but just the rose itself should take roughly 5 to 10 minutes.

About this article
If you want to make a rose with cake icing, fill a piping bag with royal icing and attach a rose tip. Attach a piece of wax paper to a rose nail with a small dab of frosting. Then, place the wide end of the rose tip against the center of the wax paper. Spin the rose nail in a full circle while squeezing the piping bag to create a cone shape. Pipe 3 petals around the circumference of the cone, then move the tip outward and make a second layer with 5 petals. Finish with an outer layer of 7 petals, or keep going to make an even bigger flower! Keep reading to learn how to remove the rose from the wax paper!
