In Cake Decorating For Everyone we can show you how-to ice a cake like a professional cake decorator does, but for now, let's start with something nice and simple: How-To Make an Icing Rose.

Here are the things you will need to create an icing rose so you can decorate a cake:
A rose platform, wax paper, icing bag, icing tip,
Frosting or Butter Icing, food coloring... and a little bit of patience :-)

To create beautiful icing roses you need to start with a base and build petal by petal. To stop the icing rose from sticking to the rose platform, squeeze a dollop of frosting or butter icing on the head of the platform and then place a small piece of wax paper over the top to hold the paper in place.

Hold the broad end of the rose icing tip at the center of the platform. Rotate the nail clockwise and squeeze out enough icing to form a small cone.

Rotating the rose platform slowly as you work, squeeze out a second frosting or butter icing cone about halfway up the sides of the first cone. Wipe the tip of the tube after each step.

To shape the small petals of the icing rose at the center, hold the end of the icing tube horizontal to the wax paper and squeeze three over lapping bands of icing around the second cone.

Squeeze out a second row of three icing rose petals just below the first row, turning the tube away from the cone as you work so the petals stand out slightly.

Complete the icing rose with four large petals. Place the icing tube almost parallel to the paper; lift the icing tube and icing tip up and out so the each petal curves away from the rose.
