Garden Flowers

I wanted to try piping different flowers. The rose was a little challenging. I used the petal tip of varying sizes to pipe all these flowers. I use green fondant to mold the leaves and for the stems. Thank you Anna @Anna_Sunday_Cookers, Manu @Manu biscotti decorati and Julia @Julia M. Usher for another great challenge.

Congratulations dear Zeena, they are so beautiful!♥️

What a great selection  of piped flower cookies, Zeena @Zeena! I can’t pick a favorite. I am glad you enjoyed the challenge and kept practicing.

Nice work, Zeena! I especially love the daffodil on the left. I'm curious to know what tips you used and how you built up the central part.

Thank you Julia @Julia M. Usher. I used the petal tip #103 for the petals. For the center, I used a tipless piping bag with a small cut. I piped a circle and kept on adding more circles on top. Then I piped a zig zag on the top using the same tipless bag.

I have a question Julia @Julia M. Usher. I can see the center color on my daffodil has bled into the base of the petals. I never had this issue before. Is it because I piped the orange center before the petals were dry or is it some other reason? Appreciate your reply.

That's interesting, because I didn't see it as bleeding until you mentioned it; I thought it was intentional shading with dust. I see a little now around the center of some of the other flowers too. Yeah, usually bleeding is a sign that the icings stayed too wet too long in contact with one another, so one color migrated into the other. Bleeding can be a function of one or more of the icings being too loose or your ambient conditions being relatively humid (which slows drying time). If you didn't want any bleeding, I would have let the under-color dry completely before adding the other one, and/or pushed the icings to the thickest possible consistency for the task at hand. The bleeding actually looks appropriate in this case though!

Wow Zeena. I love each one!
