3-Dimensional Rock Climber
Difficulty: Medium
Our 3-dimensional rock climbers can scale your cake in a variety of poses. Make them in advance with royal icing. After piping the outline harness, add a shoestring licorice rope.
Bluebell
Difficulty: Medium
Bluebells are a smaller, slightly shallower version of the lily, made in the smaller 1 1/4 in. lily nail. Pipe them in white, pink yellow or the traditional blue.
Chrysanthemum (Mum)
Difficulty: Medium
The Chrysanthemum is a fall classic that’s easier to pipe than you would think. The secret to success--the curved opening of specialty tip #81 used with a simple leaf-making motion.
Cow
Difficulty: Medium
Your piped animals can be as lifelike or cartoonish as you want them to be. Begin with a base and add familiar shapes such as dots, balls and strings that give your figure personality.
Drop Strings
Difficulty: Medium
Watch our online video. Precise measurements are vital to perfect stringwork. You will need to evenly divide your project with the cake dividing set and lightly mark the desired depth of each arc before you begin.
Lamb Standing
Difficulty: Medium
Add a figure piped lamb to cupcakes for Easter or a farm-themed party. His stand-up shape will get everyone’s attention!
Lily
Difficulty: Medium
The Lily looks best when petals are more pointed. If petals split while piping, slightly widen tip with a thin spatula. Or, add a teaspoon of piping gel to 1 cup stiff royal icing.
Lily of the Valley
Difficulty: Medium
Lily of the Valley boasts charming tiny blossoms descending from a broad curving leaf. The bell-shaped flowers and curved leaf each require attention to pressure control.
Marigold
Difficulty: Medium
The sunny Marigold builds its puffy texture with row upon row of tiny petals. Practice the back and forth motion to gain perfect control.
Monkey
Difficulty: Medium
To make the Monkey, you’ll need two copies of our pattern. Use one for piping on a board, covered with waxed paper. Use the second as reference while piping.
Morning Glory
Difficulty: Medium
The Morning Glory starts with overpiped white cup center, topped by a colorful ruffled edge. Smooth together with a slightly damp brush—touch brush to your hand before applying.
Roses
Difficulty: Medium
Create this magnificant rose—the most popular icing flower of them all. With practice, your roses will have the just-picked look of real fresh garden roses!
Stork
Difficulty: Medium
A can’t-miss baby shower accent, the Stork is fun to figure pipe on a lollipop stick. You’ll need to start a few days in advance to dry one side, then turn over to pipe the 3-D body.
