Today’s possibilities in confectionery are very wide – beautiful flowers of butter, egg white or fresh cheese cream can be drawn on the cake with the help of tips of various shapes. The shapes of tips are so different – ​​in pastry shops you can buy ones designed specifically for making petal shapes, as well as for convenient drawing, to draw narrower and bolder lines. In the video tutorial below, you can see that everything depends on the type of tip and the dexterity of the hands.

Small palette knives of different sizes will come in handy to get cream flowers that look abstractly smeared – you can also find them in pastry shops. For a more convenient application of cream of different colors on the cake, you can use a clean color palette, on which to press small pieces of cream.
