Poinsettia Buttercream Flower - Christmas Cupcakes Tutorial
Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. With the festive season fast approaching poinsettia flowers are so popular at Christmas. Poinsettias come in red, pink and a creamy white. In this weeks cake decorating tutorial I'm showing you how to pipe some pretty poinsettia cupcakes using my American Buttercream.
I go through what piping tips /nozzles you'll need, but also how you can pipe these cupcakes with no piping tips at all. These buttercream flowers look so lovely on their own or combined with other buttercream flowers. You can also pipe them onto cupcakes or use them on your larger cakes too.
I really hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!

Buttercream Poinsettia piping tutorial - Christmas 2021 icing tutorials
Follow along with our easy step by step Christmas buttercream poinsettia piping tutorial and learn how to pipe these easy buttercream holiday flowers! These poinsettia flowers are the perfect decoration for Christmas cakes and cupcakes, and they are incredibly easy to make, perfect for beginners! Impress your friends and family this holiday season with these beautiful buttercream flowers!
For this buttercream poinsettia piping tutorial you will need a medium consistency red buttercream with a # 352 (leaf)tip and a medium consistency yellow buttercream with a # 3 (or small round) tip. Begin by attaching a square of parchment to a flower nail using a small amount of buttercream. My flower nail is about 2” diameter and my parchment is about 2.5”x2.5”. You can use larger or small nails and parchment to make different sized flowers! Holding your 352 tip slightly off center, with one of the points facing up and the other point resting on your flower nail begin piping your poinsettia petals.
To pipe your first poinsettia petal, apply a steady amount of pressure, while pulling back. Angle your tip up slightly as you reach the end of your petal, release pressure and sharply pull away. Pipe your next petal touching, but not overlapping your first. You will want to pipe a total of six of these large petals, try to make them as even as possible, and don't forget to leave a small gap in the center for the next row of petals!
For the second row of petals you will need to increase the angle of your tip to about 45 degrees. Tuck your tip into the small gap in the center of your larger poinsettia petals, apply a small amount of pressure (to create a smaller, shorter petal) and then sharply pull away. Pipe six of these smaller petals to fill in the gap in the center of your buttercream flower.
Switch to your # 3 tip and yellow buttercream. Using small amount of pressure, pipe small dots in the middle to finish off the center of your poinsettia flower. Place your finished flowers in the fridge or freezer to set, and then you can transfer them to your poinsettia cake or cupcakes!
These easy holiday flowers look especially festive on a Christmas wreath cake. If you would like to see how I decorate cakes with buttercream flowers, let me know down in the comment section below!
Buttercream Recipe: (Video:
Ingredients
1/2 Cup butter softened to room temperature 113g
2 Cups powdered sugar 200g
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract 4g
1-2 Tablespoons milk 15-30g
Directions:
In a large bowl if using a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer cream butter on medium low speed for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy and pale in colour. Add 1/2 of the powdered sugar and mix for 2 minutes. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix for another 2 minutes. Your buttercream should be fluffy, pale and thick at this point. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix well. If the buttercream is still too thick/stiff add another tablespoon of milk and continue mixing. You will want a medium consistency buttercream to pipe your flowers with! Add food colouring. For this tutorial I used Wilton gel colour in 'Christmas red' and 'lemon yellow'.

3 tools for one beautiful sourdough bread scoring pattern :)
I like how easy this pattern is to make, with a very pretty result. I've used the Sonic Lame (you can use an old-school lame, as well), normal household scissors, and a comb.
