How to Pipe a Buttercream Daisy
I am in buttercream daisy overload. Learning how to pipe daisy’s from buttercream is not as easy as I would have thought!
I started a couple weeks ago by making a buttercream peony. It was fun. And addicting. So I decided now is as good of time as any to start piping all the flowers. Being a novice at piping intricate designs, I decided to start easy.
Except, I didn’t really think they looked like daisies! I mean, not as close to a daisy as I would have thought one could do with buttercream.
Basically, a daisy has long skinny petals that are not uniform and widest at the middle or petal end, tapering in at the base. The center is yellow with a lot of texture and the center can be very large and protrude greatly, or smaller and more simple.
Needless to say, it’s not as easy to pipe as I thought! So I just played around with the limited knowledge that I have and hoped for the best.
I also made two videos. The first is the longer version, but has a bit more detail.
The second is very quick and easy and fun. Definitely a great place to start!
In the first video, the one with more detail, I used a #124, #2 and #10. (The #5 is also in this picture and while I didn’t use it in the video, I will explain why it is there below!) These tips are all from Fat Daddio’s and the blue tips (although the two on the right look green because of the yellow frosting!) are the gel tips. I adore these and love the quality and consistency they offer.
