Colorful Vintage-Inspired Lambeth Piped Cake Decorating
Types of Borders 💫Pearl: Round piping tip #4. Apply generous pressure to push the buttercream out into a round pearl shape, then release pressure and pull the piping tip towards the right. Repeat the next pearl touching the pearl before it. 💫Shell: Star piping tip #18 and 4B. Same as above but when you release pressure, pull the piping tip towards the right. Repeat the process and pipe the repeating shells slightly overlapping/making contact with the ones previously piped. 💫Ruffle: Petal piping tip #150. Keep the thin end of the piping tip facing down/out to get a thin edge on the ruffle. Apply even pressure, slightly wiggling the piping tip up and down/in and out as you pipe, more wiggle = more ruffled.
