We just love using Swiss meringue buttercream with these tips as it gives a beautiful and flawless finish to your piped flowers. Swiss meringue buttercream has a firm yet velvety soft texture, allowing you to pipe smooth and complete flowers. It can be coloured using gel pastes and by changing the colour of your buttercream you can completely change the aspect of your finished flowers. You can also add different coloured buttercream to your piping bag to create realistic beautiful and vibrant flowers.

Recommended to go hand in hand with the flower tips are our Piping Tip for Leaves. You can add life and a whole new dimension to your cupcakes by adding colourful foliage to really make them pop. Tip size: 18mm, Base size: 31mm. This christmas cactus simply making flower nozzle fits on our large icing coupler from Kitchen Craft.
