In the words of another baker at KAF, the “tricks” to piping individually formed flowers are: 1) The buttercream must be the correct temperature, it needs to be almost plastic. 2) If the buttercream is too airy and light, you will need to remove some of the air. Place a small amount into a bowl and beat it with a flat wooden paddle. This will help get the frosting to the correct consistency. Yes, the cupcakes will need to be refrigerated - bringing them to room temp. around 15-20 minutes for best flavor and texture. Happy Baking! Irene@KAF
