Piping is something that you just can't get enough off. It's frustrating when you're a beginner (Me) but you just have to keep practicing. There's many times when I give up but inside of me, I don't want to give up. Eventually after all the bragging and moaning, you just got to get back to it. & to top it all off, working with buttercream icing and piping is a nightmare when the weather is humid, which Durban is a lot of the times. I just can't wait for Winter so things can be a bit better between buttercream icing and I (Another reason to add to the list about why I love Winter) .. However, Chef Julia gave me some advice today by saying that I should just beat in an egg white, & that'll make the icing dry a bit harder.
So I haven't completed learning how to pipe all the flowers. The rose was flopping due to the icing being so soft but I kind of get the hang of the Pansies, but shew, I need A LOT more practice. I am going to be practicing more roses, daisys, chrysanthemums, rose buds, half roses, sweet peas, half carnation, tulips and whatever other icing flowers you can create! It's going to take me a long while but I want to become a cake decorator - I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO PERFECT IT.
So have a look at my pics & years from now we'll all look back and have a good laugh at how ugly they look but how perfect they would be looking at that present time? Improvement is magical.
