- Hello everybody, welcome back!
So today, I'm going to be showing you
how to make six different kinds of buttercream flowers.
These are a lot easier than you'd expect
and you can use these for literally any dessert.
So, let's get started.
So, I'm using cupcakes as the base for these
just because I think it's cute,
but you could also simply use a flower nail,
I think that's what it's called,
the photo will be here,
or you could do these directly on to a cake,
or anything that you like.
So, the first I'm gonna show you
how to make the buttercream.
So you wanna beat some butter with an electric mixer
until it's pale and fluffy.
Add some vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Then add the confectioners sugar one cup at a time
then beat for three to five minutes,
or until it's fluffy.

So first, to make some hydrangea cupcakes,
you wanna prep some blue and some white buttercream
and fit a piping bag with the number 2D piping tip
and spread some blue buttercream
along the inside walls of the bag,
leaving the center empty.
Then fill the center with some white buttercream.
(light instrumental music)
Then pipe vertically on to the cupcake,
creating little dollops of buttercream flowers.
I just continue until the entire cake is covered.
So, you can also use pink or purple buttercream
instead of blue, or a mixture of all of them,
because hydrangeas come in a bunch of different colors.

To make some daisies,
you wanna prep some white and yellow buttercream.
Place the white buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number 103 piping tip,
and the yellow buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number five piping tip.
Position the wide end of the piping tip
with the white buttercream
where the center of your daisy will be,
and pipe stripes of petals,
continuing until you create a full set of petals.
Then squeeze some yellow buttercream into the center.
So you can pipe one large daisy
on to the center of a cupcake,
or multiple smaller daisies
to completely cover your cupcake in daisies.
To create a dahlia, you wanna prep some purple buttercream,
or any color that you like,
and place it into a piping bag fitted with
a number 81 piping tip.
Create a mound of buttercream on to the center of a cupcake,
and then point the piping bag
vertically on top of the cupcake,
and pipe three petals around the mound.
Continue with more layers of petals,
keeping them slightly longer than the previous row,
and gradually fanning them out in the rows
near the edges of the cupcake.

To create a peony, which is one of my favorites,
you wanna prep some coral and yellow buttercream.
Place the yellow buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number 133 piping tip
and place the coral buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number 123 piping tip.
Pipe a dollop of yellow buttercream
on to the center of the cupcake,
and this is just to create some height,
and then use more yellow buttercream to create the stamen,
piping vertically on top of that little dollop.
Then use the coral buttercream
to pipe three petals around the stamen,
and continue piping more and more layers of petals,
starting each petal from the middle
of each petal in the previous row.

To create a sunflower,
you'll need to prep some golden yellow, some green,
and some brown buttercream.
Place the brown buttercream in a piping bag
fitted with a piping tip with a very large, round opening.
The yellow buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number 70 piping tip,
and the green buttercream into a piping bag
fitted with a number 68 piping tip.
Pipe a large circle of brown buttercream
on to the center of the cupcake,
and if you like,
you can sprinkle some chocolate sprinkles on top,
or some mini chocolate chips to create some texture.
Then pipe several leaves with the green buttercream
around the outside edges of the cupcake.
(light instrumental music)
Pipe a ring of petals with the yellow buttercream,
just slightly closer to the center than the green leaves
and continue piping more rings,
working closer and closer to the center
until you reach the brown middle.
(light instrumental music)
And lastly, to create some cherry blossom flavors,
you wanna prep some pale pink,
some deep pink, and some white buttercream.
And for these you can use
a number 101, 102, or 103 piping tips,
just depends on the size of the flower that you like,
then spread some of the pink buttercream
on to the side of the piping bag
where the wide end of the piping tip is located,
and then fill the rest of the piping bag up
with some white buttercream.
(light instrumental music)
Hold the piping bag so the pink edge
is closest to the cupcake,
then pipe a flower with five petals.
So, as you can see,
I rotated both the cupcake and my hand as I was piping.
It takes a little bit of trial and error,
but once you get the hang of it,
these can be made super, super quickly.

And you are done!
