Frosting Flowers So Realistic You Can Hardly Believe It! — With Navah Perlman Frost
Katie Couric learns how to make realistic icing flowers with Navah Perlman Frost (https://www.instagram.com/frostedbynavah).
Recipes and piping tips can be found below:
Chocolate frosting
Melt together:
175 grams milk chocolate (I used Valrhona Jivara milk)
175 grams dark chocolate (I use Valrhona Caribe 66 percent)
225 grams unsalted butter
Whisk together:
350 grams icing sugar
175 whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix the two above together. It will be runny at first and then thicken as it cools. It will be piping consistency after it thickens.
Vanilla frosting for piping flowers:
400 Grams soft butter or non dairy butter
800 Grams powdered sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Tbsp. Milk or non dairy milk
1/2 tsp. Salt
In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, mix the butter until it’s smooth (like peanut butter consistency) Add sugar in a few additions mixing until combined. Add the salt, vanilla and milk and do a final mix before storing in an air tight container.
