Welcome to the Basic Rose Class! In this lesson, Dara will show you how to pipe a beautiful buttercream rose in three distinct styles: Petal-by-Petal, Express Pipe, and Freestyle. We’ll begin with a quick overview of any prerequisite videos to watch, plus a rundown of the piping tips and tools you’ll need. Next, I’ll share 4 important tips (like tip position and petal length) to help you master smooth, lifelike petals. Then it’s time to dive into each rose style step by step—starting from the base and bud, all the way through inner, outer, and lower petals. Finally, we’ll cover how to remove, apply, or freeze your roses, and troubleshoot common issues like wavy petals or drooping edges. Use the chapter timestamps to navigate directly to each section, and get ready to pipe gorgeous roses with confidence!
