Your questions, our advice
How should you position the 102 tip to shape a petal?
Position the wide side of the 102 tip facing down and the narrow side facing up, and gently move your wrist while turning the flower nail to shape the petal.
Do you need a cake nail to use the 102 tip?
A cake nail (flower nail) makes piping with the 102 tip easier by letting you rotate the flower, but it isn't essential for piping petals directly onto the cake.
Which buttercream gives the best results with the 102 tip?
Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream, firm and smooth, gives the best results with the 102 tip: it holds the petal without cracking.
