Top Tips
When piping the primrose flower, use the squeeze-up-down piping stroke. Pause halfway of the previous petal and do the same motion to create a heart shape flower. Pipe 5 petals.
The Dogwood flower would have a relatively the same stroke as piping the Primrose but the petals should be wider so you can move slightly to the right to make it wider.
Pipe 4 petals. The petal stroke for the Lisianthus is a long and curved petal, starting on the outer layer. The petals are slightly overlapping. The tiny blooms are piped using a seamless piping bag, just cut the ends to resemble a Wilton 352 leaf.
Otherwise, you may use Wilton 349. Your piping bag always has to be touching the surface of your cake.
