EASTER LILY A one-ounce glass may be used for making this flower.Grease the glass heavily with lard or shortening toprevent sticking. One glass must be used for eachflower. The Easter Lily takes about 24 hours to dry.Use a No. 67 leaf tube and fill the cone full with whiteroyal icing that has been thinned down slightly. Hold the glass in the left hand and make a long leaf startingat the bottom of the glass as shown in step 1. A heavypressure is used at the base of the leaf, relaxing pressureas you move out toward the tip. Follow steps 2 and 3 making two or more leaves dividing the nail into threesections. The next three leaves are placed between thefirst. When starting the last three leaves, begin half wayup the glass. If you have trouble getting the leaves tocome off to a point, the icing isn't quite thin enough oryou are not relaxing pressure gradually as you com-plete the leaf. Four or five yellow stamens are thenpiped into the center of the flower. When removing theflowers from the glass, heat the glass slightly to meltthe grease. |
