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???
So creative! Although I love the second one, the rainbow colored is my favorite. And I can’t stop thinking about an earlier comment that suggested it in fall colors. I know I am going to try that soon!
You’re a Cake Van Gogh! Simply amazing! We don’t get wilton products here in India and I’ve searched long and hard for a grass tip among the brands we get here. No luck 🙁
These cakes are absolutely fantastic! I love how you challenged yourself with the grass tip, which turned out to be incredibly versatile! Thanks for the inspiration to push the boundaries. I especially love the “calico” cake (it reminds me of one of my grandma’s crochet creations) and the sun scene. Beautiful!
I love the dotted one. It looks like a Dr Seuess cake! They are all amazing.
I adore that sunset cake!! So simple and easy to do, but completely beautiful, like a lovely impressionist painting. I love all of the cakes (the multi-colored cake reminds of an old patchwork quilt, and the grass tip rosettes on the third cake are so unique and fun), but the sunset cake is definitely my favorite. Love your creativity!
Wow, these are all fantastic! So beautiful and they look delicious too!
This is so unfair!! You stole everyone’s talents!! Awesome!!!
LOVE the rainbow cake!
Beautiful. I guess I should use the tip more often. I wonder how many other tips can change the look just by adjusting the pressure..
Thank you so much for the idea! I made the polka dot cake for my 3 year old’s birthday party today. My husband said the cake was the celebrity of the day. And it totally was! So fun- thanks again!
