How can i make flowers for cakes?
You need frosting, not icing - cream 2 cups of shortening in a mixer, then add 1/2 tspn of salt, then sift in 4 cups of powdered sugar and 2 tbspns of milk. Beat until fluffy. Add more sugar as needed to make a semi-stiff frosting. This is a good regular frosting. For flowers, purchase a star tip and pipe the frosting through the tip.
Reply:I like James%26#039;s recipe but I would use 1/2 shortening %26amp; 1/2 butter. This will be still firm but plyable (sp) but taste better. You can also add flavoring if you wish.
If you know the pastry chef%26#039;s method for piping flowers they produce very nice... ah flowers.
Happy Anniversary to Sweet Grandma %26amp; the Old Fart too.
