How to Make Buttercream Flowers

How to Make Buttercream Flowers

Making buttercream flowers elevate any dessert and making them is much easier than you think. The most important things to have are the right piping tips, buttercream that's the correct consistency and a little patience. So many people asked for a full step-by-step on piping roses and peonies so I hope you'll find this fideo helpful! I love using flowers like this to embellish cakes and cupcakes.

Some Hints for Getting a Nice Flower:

*Make a small batch of extra thick buttercream to make a cone-shaped base for the flowers.
*ALWAYS sift your sugar. Any lumps will clog your tip.
*Storing your flowers in the fridge will make them easier to handle when it's time to apply them to your cake/cupcake.
*Add food coloring a little at a time with a toothpick for maximum control.

Your free 10mins tutorials have so much more knowledge than the $100 day baking class I joined.

John!!! You're incredible! I've never attempted piping flowers before, and I was very intimidated. But after watching a few of your videos, I felt inspired and capable, so I went ahead and tried it! I just made a birthday cake for my grandmother and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! It's a brown butter cake with buttercream frosting (your recipes of course!) and it's covered in buttercream roses! Thank you so much for being a wonderful and encouraging teacher!

The thing I like about your videos is that you don't play a lot of annoying music in the background. Its just your voice that I can focus on while backing because you speak to the point.

YOU ARE THE BOB ROSS OF BAKING!

Thank you for all of your peaceful, yet informative videos! Very glad I stumbled upon them! ♥️

I think I fell in love when he said that if you mess up you can just eat then and no one will know. Some day I want a dream man like this to make all the cakes for me. :) :d

I literally LOVE this tutorial! I have a bride who asked for all white flowers on cupcakes for her bridal shower. Your shots close up make such a difference and maybe it’s me but I just get your point and jive with your videos so well! Thanks a bunch! You should have your own show!🎉

This guy definitely needs more views . Love how he makes everything look so neat, so simple and yet elegant . New favourite channel now.

Loads of love from Pakistan :)

He is my absolute favorite to watch, plus his little jokes he throws in, he just looks like a cool guy. I’d like to get to know him. So knowledgeable

[Ndnative]

Excellent teaching and videography. I really appreciate that he doesn’t have annoying music in the background. The very subtle backbeat is just fine.

Absolutely amazing. I have saved ed thousands of $$$ by decorating cakes since the 1973. Just for family & friends. Wedding cakes, etc! I wouldn’t trade this skill for anything!!!

I love the slightly ruffled edges on the petals of these, absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for the tutorial.

I can’t even tell you how happy this video made me. Learning to make these flowers is one of my goals for 2020. Your videos are so easy to understand, and that encourages me to do this. Also, the short cry of a child in the background at one point makes you relatable. Even though my children are grown now, that just sounds like home. Thank you, for your videos. I’ll try not to eat too many of my mistakes. If I do, I’ll totally ruin my other 2020 goal of slimming down. 😊

Hi John! You should have your own TV show. Seriously. I don't bake. Never have. Never was interested. Until now :)
Anyone that can get me interested in baking is a marvel.... And where's your Patreon? Pls get one 💓

Hi John, love your videos. Thank you. I've got countless tips... in storage...hundreds of miles away... I've discovered a decorating kit in the kitchen of my now-late MIL. It's...plastic... the flower nail is a stick thing that looks like a stylus, AND as a bonus, the icing bags are approximately 8 inch by 4 inch and open on not one end, but BOTH. I'm going to say "Thank you God" and do what I'm able to with it. And I'm going to get pics. Wish me

[leftyla]

I love the tattered edges on the petals. Seriously, I can watch you do this all day. It's the most satisfying thing!

[ritamargarita]

Dear John ! you are my teacher! I sincerely thank you for your generosity! the whole world sells its knowledge. I learn everything from you..

[andreas_adventures]

My grandma taught me how to make these when I was a kid. Loving learning some new techniques from this.

[Nanetteb]

I love these colors that are the buttercream for flowers.I find these shades so esthetically pleasing.

[punkivy]

Dude, the thumbnail just looks like a bunch of actual flowers. Amazing work.

[lorenlash]
