Re: Water Lilies
I may not be understanding exactly what you're looking for, but to get the edges of a petal to have that darker edge, paint the inside of your bag with the deeper color you're wanting, then fill with the lighter color. Just use a thin layer, enough to coat the surface. The thicker you coat the bag, the wider the darker layer will be on the petal.
In order to get those layers of colors that deepen as you go to the center, the only option I know of is to have multiple bags of progressively darker colors. I just don't know of any other way to do it without an airbrush on buttercream.
The only way I'd know to do it is to do the lilies off the cake, sort of assembly line style.
Sorry, you probably already know all of this! Getting a natural look to flowers isn't easy with buttercream!
