LEAVES Making a leaf properly is as important as making mostof your flowers. The essential part of making a leaf is tohave the icing at the proper consistency. It must bethinned down so it may be drawn out to a point. All the leaves illustrated on this page were made with a No. 67tube.
The very tiny leaves in the first row are made by touch-ing the pan, for practice, applying a small amount ofpressure. At half way mark move the tube along dis-continuing pressure and lifting away from the pan. Thiswill draw a tiny leaf out to a point, as illustrated.
The second row of leaves are slightly larger and have aruffled edge effect. This is obtained by touching the leaftube to your pan at a 45 degree angle. Apply pressure and as you squeeze move the tube back and forth in a steady even motion diminishing pressure as you cometo the tip of your leaf. Discontinue pressure and con-tinue moving out, thus pulling the leaf off to a point. |
