Confused Over Nozzels
Hi everyone,
Ive spent hours looking at nozzels today and the more i look, the more im getting confused !
Ive noticed that they all have numbers and letters. Are these standard ?
I have 6 nozzels at the moment that was a set, they have numbers and letters on them.
I bought an extra one a ' closed star rose swirl' to do the pretty ' open rose' look on some cupcakes.
Although, i think i bought the wrong one. I have tried it and i cant do it ! It just looks a mess so i cried and gave up :-(
I dont know what im doing wrong? Is it my buttercream or me ?!!
I would love to be able to do this! But also i need a large one for this giant cupcake.
Does it need to be a particular one, like ' open star' or 'closed star' ?
I dont know which would look best on a giant cupcake?
Thank you for any help
A very confused
Lisa

Lisa, I don't have a lot of cutters either so I use templates to make many of my flowers. I sometimes use real flowers to make a template but I have found some templates for you if you are interested. http://www.lovelytutorials.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2338
On that site, there are tons of flower tutorials. It just take a little patience to navigate thru that site.
As far as veiners, you can try this http://karencuppycake.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-diy-gumpaste-rose.... I have also use the tip of a toothpick to make an impression, dried corn husk, etc.

Ive bought 3 sizes of calyx cutters. Can i use these to make some flowers ? I know there for under the roses but i couldnt get anything else at the shop i was in at the time!
Maybe put a dragee ball in the center or something ?

Oh yes Lis, you certainly can. I used them for my poinsettias as they were the closest thing I had. You can do so much with them. If you make your fondant thickish, then you can spread the petals out with a ball tool (if you have one) to make them wider. You can frill the edges with a cocktail stick. You can 'fray' the edges with a small pair of scissors or a cocktail stick. Let your creativity run wild. I find these cutters really versatile. Have fun!
