Cake Decorating – How to Make a Rosebud
One of the staples of cake decorating is knowing how to make a rosebud with icing. I find it easier to watch how to make something like this rather than read about. Therefore, I have a short video you can watch that teaches you how to create your own roses to be used in your own cakes.
Tools Needed:
- Flower nail (or rose nail)
- Icing spatula (or toothpick)
- Pastry bag and tip

I want to know how to make a rosebud not a rose!!!
Cake Decorating – How to Make a Rosebud … like the title says
Like Kate said, the title is “How to Make a Rosebud. I am already an accomplished cake decorator, however I am out of practice and need a refresher on rosebuds.
Also, just f.y.i., Wilton decorating is not really the best. You can make a much nicer and more beautiful rose by not following a rigid formula. Just let it flow and put the petals wherever they wish to be, whatever number of petals fit naturally. Like my boss taught me when I was first hired to do cakes, just keep going until it looks good, then stop.
