Simple piping, stunning results ! This is an easy technique using buttercream called petal effect. it is extremely easy and the results are very impressive. The Petal Technique uses a round tip on your piping bag and a small spatula or small teaspoon to create the effect. It's simple process, just very time consuming.
What you need:
- A cake, round looks the best for this technique but square or rectangle is ok
- Buttercream icing
- Food colouring
- piping bags, depends on how many shades you prefer
- A small spatula
- 4 plain tips, if you prefer can use the piping bag too
- Turning cake decorating table, very helpful but not a must
I found The Hungry Housewife blog is very helpful as she posted a tutorial on her blog that demonstrate both the omber and petal effect to decorate a cake. I am not going to include my step by step how I decorated the cake. I am going to let you read what she wrote. You can complete the cake as she did but I like to decorate mine with fresh flower and finished the base with fresh flowers too. Try to get the similar colour tone for the flower. Have a go, it is not that hard.
