How to pipe like a pro
To effortlessly create piping flowers and various designs on your cake, consider using reusable piping tools that are easy to clean, such as the Kasmoire Reusable Piping Bags and Tips Set or the Wilton Dessert Plus Decorating and Cake Icing Tool. After filling your piping bag with delicious homemade buttercream frosting (most buttercream varieties are suitable for piping), you can pipe a border around your cake or enhance an existing one. Keep in mind that if you're using store-bought frosting, you'll need to take an extra step beforehand.
Don’t hesitate to generously apply the frosting to add some dimension to your cake. As Anna Gordon wisely states, "Most of the time less is more, but sometimes more is more!" Using a star tip, you can create a star border by simply squeezing the piping bag and moving it slowly around the cake.
Rosettes are a great beginner-friendly floral decoration for cakes and are typically made with a star tip. Start by squeezing a star onto the cake, then, without lifting the tip, create a circle around the star. This technique results in a lovely flower decoration that resembles a rose. You can pipe rosettes around the cake for a border or place them in random spots to fill empty areas.
There are also many other creative ways to embellish your cake. Consider using just a spoon and a bag for a beautiful decoration technique, or try the lace hack for easy yet stunning cake adornments.
