You guys aren’t messin around.
When I placed the idea out there.. the idea that I would create three different cakes from one decorators tip… I had NO idea what I was thinking.
The most commonly requested tip was #233.
The grass tip.
Most commonly used to make grass. In green.
Grass.
And nothing else.
I was stumped.
I didn’t even own one. I had to go and buy one.
(actually, I bought four, which really helped when decorating all these cakes!)
I wanted to make sure all these cakes served a purpose, so this cake is for some friends that just welcomed another baby into their lives. A sweet little boy!
I held the tip at a 90 degree angle, applied pressure and make slight circles with the tip. Then made smaller ‘stacks’ in the inner circles.
While I will never claim to be an artist (I have too much respect for the people that are!) I really liked how this technique came out.
I hope its self explanatory, but if not, here is my very technical descriptions.
I took the frosting and made swirly lines and stuff.
And while I can honestly tell you that all of these cakes are very easy to execute, this was probably the easiest.
And my favorite. I don’t know why… maybe because it has all the colors in the rainbow? And I am obsessed with rainbows?
To make this cake I just used the grass tip as you normally would, but didn’t extend the tip to achieve the long grass. Just short little dabs of frosting.
Thanks for pushing me beyond what I knew! I had fun making these cakes and hope that our friends and family will have fun eating them!!
So what do you think I should tackle next???
Wow they all look sensational! I love love love the dotty rainbow one and the sun one makes me smile. Its so happy and bright. You’re amazing
Your creativity has no limit !! All of them are AWESOME. The one with the sun I think is my favorite.
These are as gorgeous as ever, Amanda. I really love your ideas!! The sky and sun cake is very pretty – I only use this tip for grass too, so it’s great to get some other ideas of how to use it 🙂
Thank you!

Really great to see beyond the purpose of the grass tip. Very fun indeed. The colors ARE awesome. While cakes are not really my thing, I might have to give this a try!

WOW! Looks like works of art to me! I wouldn’t want to eat them!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Wow, great job, I really love the sun cake.
These are all so great! Awesome job. I hate using the grass tip. Also, I can’t believe you didn’t own one.
I LOVE the sunset cake! I’m wondering how you made the waves so realistic? The think I hate about this is now it’s gonna bug me until I try it! Love your work!
You are so talented and creative! The sunset one looks like a piece of art, and I love how fun the rainbow cake is. I never would have imagined using that tip for anything other than grass. You’ve inspired us to think outside the box!
YOU are just too cool! Three different cakes with the GRASS tip?!?! Brilliant!
