Very pretty Betty..... & oh so yummy looking......  all that chocolate.  :o)

Katy.... my 1st cake teacher said it was good to have a few smooth edged roses mixed with the so called "ragged" or ruffly edge ones. Said it looked more authentic. She also said that if they look too perfect, they looked manufactured.... not made by hand.   Personally, I like the little ragged edges... gives the roses life & interest.  :o)

Wow - 3", that's a biggie.  Mines only about half that size, I think.  Good to know even yours get fluffy too, thank you.  So it seems my icing might be too stiff, I'll try softening it up a little, see if that helps.  There was no point in practising the last couple of days as it's been very hot here and I just knew my icing would turn to oil lol!

Yes Katy, I have a 3" flower nail I use, don't know if they even sell them now. I've had it a long time. Lets me make large flowers. Sometimes my flowers get "funny" on the edges if my frosting isn't just right, or a little to stiff. I just keep going & pretend they are ruffled Ha! Ha!

omg a CHOCOLATE one!  Now I really am in love.

Betty - I tried piping some butter icing roses the other day and the edges were 'tatty'.  Do yours do that or am I doing something wrong?  Also do you use a flower nail?
