To Decorate Cake

Form the petals: Pipe dots in a circle using a piping bag with a large round tip. Use an offset spatula to pull frosting toward middle; add a second layer if you like.Add a candy: Place a lemon drop or several small candies or sprinkles in the center.

Piping Bag Hack

You don’t have to use a pastry bag for these frosting finishes. In a pinch, a resealable plastic bag stands in. Snip off a corner, large or small, depending on the tip you’re replacing.
