Wilton Easy Blooms Storage & Freezing: Use prepared frosting immediately or cover tightly and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting on medium speed for a few seconds so it’s creamy again. After thawing or refrigerating, beating in a splash of heavy cream or milk will help thin the frosting out again, if needed. Make various types of leaves by holding this tip at different angles, and find out what works best for you. 7. Wilton #101 This is my all-time favorite design, and I often use a few different colors with this technique. It never fails to impress.
