Petal Technique |
Start with a fully covered cake. You don't want to see any cake if there are any gaps in your "petals".
I put the first cake up right. Do a layer of frosting. Then I put the second layer upside down for a perfectly flat surface.
Using a round pastry tip (I use Ateco 808) pipe as many dots as you want rows. I wanted three rows because I only had a two layer cake.
Using a small offset spatula, a baby spoon, or even a butter knife press into the center of your dot about half way, hold, and drag.
Decide how far apart you want your rows and then start with a new row of dots.
Pipe all the way around the cake. The last row of petals is a pain in the neck you basically have to fudge it. Decide where you want the back of your cake to be and start and end there.
