TO DO A ROSE:
CENTER: Make a cone-shape with tip 12, then with tip #104,
BUD: Place the tip firmly against the nail, whirl the nail counterclockwise and pipe a bud. (Just use a tiny bit of icing). If you are right-handed, you should try to learn to turn your nail counterclockwise (clockwise for lefties),
1st ROW: Make 3 petals that are even in height with the top of the bud and evenly spaced. Overlap the first petal with the last one. Now make 5 more petals in the same way. To remove it from the nail: Open thin-bladed scissors and spin the nail forcing the flower onto the scissors. Apply it to the cake. OR - pipe it onto a square of waxed paper and let it crust for a few days. NEVER set the flower straight, tilt it a little for a natural affect.

DAISIES: My other most favorite flower to make is the daisy made with royal icing. (Not too stiff). I don't make it anything like the Wilton method. My petals are flat 'loops' made from the center of the nail, out and back again. I lay the tip 101 flat against the nail at about 2:30-3:00 and squeeze out very little icing in the center so I don't have a buildup. Turn the nail when you are at the outer edge...not too big of turn or you'll have holes in the center of the petals.). CAUTION that you keep the small end of the tip touching the nail at all times. (The small end of the tip is the outside edge of petals). Pipe a tip 3 yellow center and dampen your finger and apply yellow sugar for stamens affect. I stripe my bag with a pastel icing and leave the rest white. This makes a nice soft color. Sometimes I make the center of the daisy the color of the stripe. You could also add glitter (the color of the center).

***ROYAL ICING*** for delicate thin-petaled flowers
ADD IN ORDER GIVEN:
5-6 TB hot water
3 TB meringue powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat until meringue powder is thoroughly dissolved, (It will begin to froth like egg whites)
THEN SLOWLY ADD:
1 pound conf. sugar...or less if its already thick enough

*You do not have to add all the conf. sugar if icing is getting too thick. At first, expect it to be soupy. Beat until the icing thickens. Watch for it to lose it's shine and stand in peaks. It takes less time if you have a heavy duty mixer. Maybe about 10 minutes. 15 minutes with a hand mixer.

Answer 3

I would check and see if Wilton has a website, they are a big distributor of cake form pans and decorating tools. They also sell royal icing in Walmart (Wilton's) and they may have a book there also
