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.
