5.279 -> some icing flowers like sunflowers for
7.6 -> example need to be piped petal by petal
10.32 -> while you're going around in a circle
12.4 -> to do that you're going to need to use a
14.48 -> flower nail i tend to use a flower nail
16.88 -> for piping flowers that i can't pipe
18.96 -> directly on my cake or desserts because
21.439 -> the flower nail will give you more space
23.76 -> and control to make those petals
26.48 -> it's also useful for making flowers that
29.279 -> you'll need to use in advance you can
31.279 -> make a whole batch on a nail and set
33.44 -> them aside and put them on later before
35.84 -> we even begin piping let's practice a
38.48 -> little i'm going to start by holding the
40.879 -> base of the nail between my thumb and my
43.36 -> forefinger
44.399 -> of the hand not holding the decorating
46.48 -> bag i'm right-handed so i hold the
49.12 -> flower nail in my left hand and i'm
51.52 -> going to practice rolling the nail
53.28 -> outwards away from my wrist
55.68 -> for left-handed decorators you're going
57.44 -> to hold the flower nail in your right
59.199 -> hand and again we're going to roll
61.359 -> outwards away from your wrist
65.439 -> let me show you so you can see what that
67.119 -> actually looks like
71.36 -> now we're ready to do the test i'm going
73.36 -> to place a small dot of icing on the
75.439 -> center of the nail to hold down the
77.28 -> icing flower square this is going to act
79.84 -> as a liner for my nail once i'm done
82.32 -> with my flower i just slide it off the
84.479 -> nail and onto the tray to set aside i
87.2 -> have a bag fitted with a tip 104 we're
90.079 -> going to start piping petals on the side
92.24 -> of the nail closest to your fingertips
94.96 -> watch how my hands are positioned you
97.28 -> don't want to pipe on the other side
98.88 -> because that would really be awkward
101.2 -> i'm going to go ahead and pipe my first
103.119 -> petal as i pipe my petal i'm going to
105.6 -> turn my nail simultaneously this is not
108.56 -> squeeze then turn
110.64 -> it squeeze end turn
112.799 -> you're squeezing the bag and turning the
115.04 -> nail at the same time
117.119 -> that's how you make a petal shape
120.159 -> i'm going to pipe my last petal here
123.28 -> and i'm done
124.719 -> if you plan on covering up the surface
126.719 -> of a smaller tree like maybe a cookie or
129.119 -> a cupcake you can actually use the treat
131.92 -> itself like a nail and pipe directly on
134.48 -> it
135.2 -> you're going to want to do this for
136.56 -> buttercream decorations whenever you can
139.28 -> let me show you how to do that
141.12 -> we're doing the same steps for piping
142.959 -> the flower but instead of turning the
144.959 -> nail i'm just using my fingers to turn
148 -> the actual cupcake same concept as the
150.879 -> nail just different movement so let's
153.04 -> try this so i'm going to pipe my first
155.44 -> petal and then i'm going to stop and i'm
158.4 -> going to rotate my cupcake and then i'm
160.8 -> going to go ahead and pipe another petal
163.84 -> and then i'm just going to go ahead and
165.2 -> repeat until
166.959 -> i get all the way around my flower
175.519 -> the key to getting comfortable with the
177.04 -> flower nail is a little bit of practice
179.2 -> and patience once you start you'll
181.519 -> quickly get the hang of it and you'll be
183.599 -> piping beautiful flowers in no time
187.36 -> [Music]
