Based on the provided reference, daffodils can be made out of royal icing by creating six petals around a central point.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it, based on the provided context:
-
Prepare your royal icing: You'll need royal icing that is suitable for piping. Consider having yellow-tinted icing for the petals. The reference doesn't specify details about the center, so you may need a separate batch of orange or yellow icing for the daffodil's trumpet (center).
-
Use a flower nail: A flower nail is a small, rotating platform that makes it easier to create icing flowers.
-
Pipe the petals: Using a piping bag fitted with an appropriate tip (a small round tip or petal tip would work best), create six petals around the center of the flower nail. Imagine drawing a circle and dividing it into six equal sections. Each petal should originate from near the center and extend outwards.
-
Petal Arrangement: The reference emphasizes going "around doing that which is going to give me um six petals and the final one back into the center." This suggests overlapping the base of the petals slightly for a natural look.
-
Consider Adding a Trumpet (Center): The reference doesn't specify adding the trumpet. The best practice would be to form the outer petals and then either let them dry completely and return to pipe the trumpet or add it immediately after piping the petals.
It's important to note that this information is limited, and seeing the full video would likely provide more detailed instructions on piping techniques and specific icing consistencies. However, this summarizes the key steps for making royal icing daffodils based on the provided context.
