WiltonI Taught Myself Buttercream Flowers Kit, 19 pieces

Great product with detailed instructions that will really help beginning decorators.

I have never used a piping bag or the tips before and surprisingly these make it so easy for a total novice like me to be able to pipe butter cream in all different shapes and sizes. The bags that it comes with are really good quality and i have been able to re-use them after washing too.

Top Qualität und schneller Versand.

This is a really good product and has taught me to decorate cakes.You can also take the designs within the book and scale them down to go on cupcakes.

The Wilton I Taught Myself Buttercream Flowers set is incredibly useful and although still takes practice to really perfect the results, offers not only a written explanation of how the kit should be used but also has a link to their website to watch video tutorials so you can see how it’s done (the link provided in the booklet no longer works). The booklet covers 3 languages, explains the tools and anything else you’ll need, the ideal consistency, basics of preparing, filling and holding a decorating bag and how to use the flower nail. It talks you through the various techniques and shows you the outcomes of each type of flower, leaf, swirl, shell or even piping without a tip. It doesn’t give any baking instructions for the cookies, cupcakes etc being decorated but it does go into detail about how the decorating is done with images for each step as well as concise text explaining what they are doing. A lot of what is being done really needs various food colourings so e.g. you get the hydrangea colouring – would look quite plain when all white. I do like that the tips are all numbered so you know exactly which tip they are talking about. As mentioned before though it still takes practice so I wouldn’t go straight into decorating a birthday cake etc without giving it a go but as a complete novice, I really did find it all very well explained so managed a few of the techniques. I’m not sure I’d have the confidence to decorate something independently quite yet though!

Loved using this set, still learning but easy to use so far and Wilton also has video tutorials online too to aid!
