Writing on cakes Use a small round piping tip and practice on parchment, applying even pressure as you go. You can also trace the shape of your cake onto a piece of parchment and practice on that to ensure that correct spacing, centering and sizing of the letters.

Make Rose To cover the cake in roses, use a star piping tip. Hold the tip perpendicular to the surface of the cake where you want the center of the rose to be, then apply pressure to the piping bag while swirling outward.

Use Flower Nail Place a small dollop of icing on the center of the nail to hold down an icing flower square. Start piping petals on the side of the nail closest to your fingertips. As you pipe, you will need to turn the nail to either complete the petal or add more petals.
