Decorating By littlestruedel Updated 23 Jun 2016 , 9:36pm by MBalaska
Does anyone know how (and what tip) White Flower Cake Shoppe does their signature flowers? I love the look of them and would like to attempt to recreate them.
1st cake in the gallery is a good example of what I'm referring to.

Use any "C" shaped tip... 401, 402, or 403 for large flower:

or, 79, 80, or 81, for small flower:

Thanks CWR13!
I don't know why I didn't think of looking for a C-shaped tip! Do you think they just putting the curved part of the C on the cake and pulling up? I only use IMBC, do you think it would be firm enough to create this effect?
I really need to experiment with this!
These look just like the piped chrysanthemums or waterlilies on older Wilton books.
The icing has to be fairly stiff to pull out the nice petals.
I know this is a really old post, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried these large flowers yet? I'd love to make them too. I'm going to try and find a large 'C' tip today.
AWe used to make those in culinary school. Nothing tricky about them, they're just the curved piping tip used to make individual petals.
costumeczr: thank you so much! Can't wait to try them!

Yeahhhhh, so about that. I confidently got my piping bag full of delicious buttercream with a large Wilton C tip and went to town and I cannot figure these things out to save my life. I need a video tutorial! Haha!
This is the general idea, I'd do a smaller swirl personally, but you can use different tips to get bigger or smaller results. The basic idea is the same. there are lots of results on youtube if you do a search for "how to pipe an icing swirl"
AOh geez, no, that's not the right flower at all,my mistake! If you try to do them that way you'll be really confused, hahaha! Wait a minute...
AHere... This will make more sense. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIlIcYrF3c&app=m sorry about that!

That's essentially what I did last night. I guess my BC wasn't thick enough because it wanted to either fall forward or back, not stand up like the picture. Why can't everything just come naturally the first time I try it???
. Hahaha!It has to be pretty stiff to hold the shape, but not stiff enough that the edges of the petals rip and tear when you pipe them. Getting the icing the right consistency is the hardest part of the whole process.
At about the 6:30 mark on this youtube video, she shows this reporter how to make the flower:
They make it look so easy don't they? I bought those tips and still have not had any luck.I think they use a swiss meringue buttercream in their shop and they sell it in their store too. I think it may be in something like a quart size container, not sure.
There was a guy in an "instructional" video we watched in culinary school showing how to do buttercream roses. He was banging them out so fast we couldn't even see what he was doing, big fat showoff.
Chaka, thank you SO much for sharing those videos! Which tips exactly do we need? What make and number? I guess we'd need a large grass tip as well as the large C tip?
AYou need a c shaped tip like an 81 and just pipe and pull it out. Use stiff buttercream. Look up how to pipe a chrysanthemum because is the same concept.

On this one, also around the 6:30 mark, you can see the two ladies making the flower on top of one of their cakes: [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9to8rzuHktk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9to8rzuHktk[/URL]

Annie, tip 81 would be too small though right? What's the large version of tip 81? Is it 402 then?
Here's another picture of the flowers...
Does Ateco make a large c-shaped tip that would work maybe? So far I can't find one though. I wonder if The White Flower Cake Shoppe uses the Wilton tips or a different brand?
AYes, I replied on your other thread. 402 is what you need. 81 would be nice for smaller decorations.
Do a Google search for large C shaped decorating tip. I think 402 is what's being used.
Okay Annie, thanks. I'm buying the Wilton 402 right now. :)
AFYI you could probably find older or discontinued tips in lots on EBay if you're interested.
