Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a flower nail?

Secure a small square of baking paper to the flat top of the nail with a dab of buttercream. Hold the nail stem between your thumb and forefinger and rotate steadily as you pipe petals outward from the centre. Once the flower is complete, chill it until firm before transferring with a flower lifter. Pair with a rose tip from our piping tips range for best results.

What piping tips work best with a flower nail?

Rose petal tips (Wilton 101, 102, 103, 104) are the classic choice for a #9 nail and produce small-to-medium roses. The smaller the tip number, the more delicate the petals. Drop flower tips also work well for quick clustered blooms. Load your chosen tip into a piping bag with stiff buttercream for clean petal definition.
