How to Make Rosette Designs With Icing On a Cake

Decorated cakes gives that extra sparkle at parties and weddings. Learning basic techniques, like making simple rosettes, requires a little bit of practice. The outcome of a beautifully decorated cake is well worth the time you put into learning how to make icing rosettes.

Make a Flower Rosette

  1. Fill a decorator's bag with icing. You must use a thick icing and ensure all air bubbles are removed from the bag.

  2. Place a rose tip on the end of the bag.

  3. Make a zig-zag with your icing by applying a small amount of pressure and then zig-zagging your tip. You must then pull out the tip and release the pressure.

  4. Refine your technique by practicing on a plate or parchment paper.

Make a Fluffy Rosette

  1. Load the decorator's bag with medium consistency icing and use a star tip. These rosettes are often used for clouds, smoke and even the occasional border.

  2. Angle the tip and bag to 90-degrees. This is straight up and down from the surface.

  3. Place the tip slightly above the surface. Start to apply pressure. A star of icing will form. Move the tip in a small, tight, complete circle. Stop squeezing and lift the tip away.

  4. Perform these rosettes repeatedly. You must practice to make them uniform in size and shape.
