ok, those are the most useless instructions. They really are.the zig zag is done *from the top*. the only way I can see this cake working with the 127 is to do it from the side. How do you start it? where do you end it?how do you keep the wide end flush so it doesn't fall off? When it does fall off, what are the repairs?

I love the look of this cake. Using the tip 127 did not give me the even, ribboned look in the picture. A zigzag isn't hard to do but vertically as a ribbon has been difficult for me to achieve.
