CALLA LTLY
The calla lily may be made with buttercream directlyon the cake or may be made up ahead of time withroyal icing to dry for future use. Using a No. 124tube with white icing, start a slight curve with the tubesqueezing as you move along. The heavy end shouldbe touching the pan for practice and the narrow endstanding up slightly.
The first step is a slight curve approximately 2 incheslong as shown in step 1. As you come to the top of
the calla lily, you will encounter difficulty in pivotingthe tube around the point and following the curveback down as shown in step 2. Coming down again,be sure to keep the tube right next to the upwardstroke. This will eliminate an opening in the flower.A green stem and leaf are then piped on with a smallcone, using a No. 67 tube for the leaf and a No. 3tube for the stem. The yellow stamen in the center ispiped on in yellow icing with a No. 3 tube.
