Does anyone have any input on how to get the grass effect and with what tip? I think I saw somwhere the tip is 233...not sure and cannot seem to find info. I am making cupcakes withe white fondant daisies and thought it would be cute to frost grass underneath instead of just smoothing icing on.

You're right, the tip is #233

I have this tip, it works great for a grass effect. I used that tip for the grass on this cake:



If you want the grass to be standing, just use a stiff icing, and pull up and away(my grass is kind of slouching, lol)

Yes tip 233 is the one to use for making grass. You can see all the tips & what they are used for in a link on this site. Sorry don't know how to add an attachment to this link, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the home page, under the tutorials there is a link to more "how to's" & you'll find info on the tips there. That is a cute idea; using grass under the flowers. Hope this helps............

Thanks for the info...everytime I searched the actual 'how to' would not come up. This helps and I think I will go with the stiff consistency, grass standing up sounds cute!

I used the grass tip on my soccer ball cake. It really comes out great. A nice stiff (not too stiff) icing will produce grass that will stand well with a little tilt if you want.

Don't make your icing too stiff or you will have carpal tunnel in no time flat!! Ouch! I always use a medium texture.
This tip makes a nice and interesting border too when making cakes; using all different colors. Great for hula skirts and shaggy bears too.

Thanks! Your Daisys look identical to the ones I made, mine are white with a pink dot. GREAT LOOKING CAKE!

Thanks for all your input...here is how my cupcakes turned out!

Great job on the cup cakes. I like the flowers. Perfect.

Very Cute cupcakes!

Great cupcakes! The grass looks very nice, as well as the flowers.

Great cupcakes. They look so pretty.
