Make one broad petal by forcing frosting through a leaf tube, then force two upright petals on center of first petal. The petals may be shaded by putting white frosting on each side of a tube and a colored frosting in the center, and forcing them out together. Add stem and leaves.
Violets
Color portions of ornamental frosting violet, green, and yellow. Make three broad violet or white petals that meet in the center, put a bit of yellow where they join, and add stems and leaves.
Lilies of the Valley
Color a portion of ornamental frosting green. Make with stem tubes a curved stem of green ornamental frosting, with five or six tiny blossoms of white frosting depending from it. Add one or two long narrow green leaves made with leaf tube.
Jonquils
With stem tubes make three tiny petals of yellow ornamental frosting, add a green stem, and two or three long slender leaves.
