Royal icing

3 tablespoons meringue powder
4 cups icing sugar
4 or 5 tablespoons water (for stiff concistency) or 6 for normal
beat all ingredients on low until peaks form

or anytype of buttercream just put it in the fridge for 10 to 15 min. to becaome even more stiff for piping roses

as for the rose nail i think you really do need one. you can buy them at any place where they sell wilton products. wilton sells the rose nails seperately. go to www.wilton.com to find a store where they sell their products near you.
