  • Notes:

    Think about 2 motions, lifting narrow end of tip up and down, while moving\naround the cake. Always keep the wide end of the tip on the surface. Moving your wrist quickly will give you a tight ruffle. For a looser look, move more\nslowly across the surface. Practice different looks to perfect your pressure\ncontrol. For a bottom border that stands away from the cake, pipe a small shell or bead\nborder first, then pipe the ruffle over the shells. For practice with the petal\ndecorating tip 104 ruffle, use star decorating tip 16 or round decorating tip 5.
