Pretty, huh? The best part is, you only need 2 tips to accomplish this look!
I have seen a rose tip used to make ruffles, but I have found that the Ateco Tip 070 is absolute magic for this.
I wanted to add some "lift" to my ruffles, so for this tutorial we're also going to use a Wilton tip 12.
This rope will give you a nice ledge to pipe your next next row of ruffles onto. Now just keep alternating ruffles and rows until you reach the top ledge of the cake. If you want to continue on the top of the cake, just keep doing the same thing - ruffles and piped ropes.
That's it! That's all there is to it! I told you it was easier than it looked!!
And while you're here...
Last night I submitted my first cake to the ThreadCakes contest. I would really appreciate it if you took a look and even clicked the LIKE button or left a comment! Here is the link: http://www.threadcakes.com/entries/view/1546
