Your questions, our advice
How should you position tip 81 to make a petal?
Hold tip 81 with the wide side toward the base of the flower: rotating the support while piping keeps the petals even.
Do you need a flower nail to use tip 81?
For individual cupcake petals, tip 81 can be used without a flower nail. For a full rose, the tool makes it easier to rotate.
Which frosting gives the best results with tip 81?
For crack-free petals with tip 81, smooth, slightly chilled buttercream is a reliable choice.
