    Learn to Pipe Gorgeous Buttercream Ruffles with tips 050 & 070! Tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com. Online Cake Decorating Tutorials & Recipes!

     

    Today I want to talk to you about two of my newest favorite piping tips for ruffles: Tip 050 & 070!  I'm trying to experiment with more piping tips than my usual favorite petal, star, and round tips.  That's right, I've left my comfort zone and have been ruffling up everything in sight!

    Here they are:Learn to Create Beautiful Buttercream Ruffles with Piping Tips 050 & 070!

    Now, it's time to experiment.  Whenever I get a new piping tip, I experiment with every possible angle and direction until I'm happy. (It would be easier to just read the recommended tip position, but that takes all of the fun out of it!)

    As usual, I'm working with vanilla buttercream.  Choose your favorite recipe that holds it shape nicely with piping, or use one of my favorite (crusting) buttercream recipes linked HERE.

      Your ruffles are awesome! I just ordered the set of three ruffle tips and can't wait to use them!

      Also, just thought you should know that the following site is showing this tutorial but with their info/watermark on the photos. http://www.lovelytutorials.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2406

      Thanks Miss Tori--Yes, Lovely Tutorials is terrible about doing this--stealing other bloggers work, cropping out their watermarks, and putting their own.

      I think I'll post about it on FB-- I don't know how to reach them as they are in another language--

      Hi Priya, I haven't tried it, but I think it would be too soft to hold the shape of the ruffles for a long period of time.

      Thanks for your post here. I'm having trouble getting my frosting to stick in the side of the cake. My frosting was homemade buttercream that I had in the fridge and then set out for about 20-30 minutes before I used it. My cake was in the freezer over night with a crumb coat and also thawed for about 20 minutes. What am I doing wrong? Too cold?

      Hi Jamie--Yes, I suspect that the cake is too cold and condensation is forming. I would let the cake come to room temperature, allowing any moisture to evaporate before piping . I hope this solves things for you!
