Flowers out of buttercream

[bdt]

I use the revised MP Buttercream recipe. When I try to make a flower out of the closed star tip it runs together and doesn't look good. Do I have to use RI for flowers or is it just that my frosting isn't thick enough?

I can never get good results with the Buttercream in detail work. I only use it for flooding and do my detail in Royal Icing.

Try making it thicker. Good Luck!
