No cookie project this week – instead I’ve got a technique video to add to your repertoire of decorating fundamentals! I often use royal icing roses on my cookie projects to add interest and dimension, and so I thought it was high time to give you my take on this classic decoration. There are probably as many ways to make royal icing roses as there are YouTube videos on the subject – so please bear in mind that what’s shown here is simply what’s worked best for me. If you’ve mastered another approach, that’s certainly fine too!
In addition to showing you the basics of piping roses, I share four methods for adding color to them – two while piping, and two after the roses have completely dried.
Enjoy!
NOTE:
YouTube is phasing out the form of annotations (links to videos) that you've seen in my past videos. They've introduced a new way for linking off to related videos and sites called "cards", which you'll see in this video. If you look under the "i" in the upper right corner of the video, you'll be able to find all of my quick links to the most important videos, tutorials, and other info related to this video. Additional related links can still be found in my video descriptions, as below.
