    Wow you really make that look easy!

    …I don’t think it’ll be that easy for me

    So beautiful! I would worry that I’ll mess them up when I put them into the container

  4. SteamFistFuturist

    Thank you! I’ve always kind of wondered how such lovely work is done, and it’s great to see it in action.

  5. oooh, thank you! I was thinking about your cupcakes the other day. My daughter decided she wanted a bee-themed bat mitzvah party, so I was trying to figure out how to make these

    Thank you so much for sharing this! Especially seeing how you connect each petal.

    Question – do you have any issues with carpal tunnel or anything? I’m watching and thinking that would totally wreck my wrists and thumb. Is it rough on your hands?

    I can’t believe people are just out here being casually talented at things.

    These look awesome OP!

    Not trying to start shit, I’m just an observant person, but is anyone else confused by OP’s other posts showing a woman with a tattoo sleeve on her left wrist area and finger tats on each finger, but there’s no indication of that in the video?

    ETA: Update!! It looks like OP works along side her mom, maybe it’s her mom’s hand. Sorry!!

    I love behind the scenes. I wish we could see more of commercial bakery’s day to day

    This is very relaxing. I am so glad I got to see this at work while having a stressful day.

    “wow, that’s really cool!” – me .005 seconds before absolutely devouring this masterpiece

  13. OnlyBeat3945

    I’ll try this! Hope half of them don’t end up on the floor

    These are the type of finished product that I look at and think, “Okay, that’s worth the effort. I could start a hobby learning how to perfect these things.” Then I watch literally five seconds of a how-to and think, “Okay, too much effort already. Not gonna happen.” 

  15. what kind of buttercream are you using? it pipes beautifully

  16. Realistic-Read1078

    Gorgeous work and you make it look effortless!

    I notice after each petal is piped, you go in reverse briefly to scoot the adjacent petal over. What does that little move accomplish? Does it make the flower look more natural?

    Absolutely stunning! that much frosting is overkill for me and I feel like it just ends up getting tossed by most. gorgeous design regardless!
