There is a border I have seen on some cakes that I love but I'm not sure how to do it, or what tip to use. It is small and flatter and almost tear drop looking in a way. I don;t know if anyone knows what I'm talking about...i'm sorry this is so vague but I'm having a hard time finding it because I don't know the name of the border or the tip used....I will search for a picture

Can you post a pic or a link? Hard to answer w/o something to see as an example.

I am searching fr a pic......one of those things where you see it a million times and now when I need it I can't find it anywhere

Use a round-tip, whatever size is appropriate to form the bead size that you want. Then sqeeze, and pull to the right as you release the pressure. Then start forming the next bead on the tail of the one you just formed. By pulling your bead to the left as you release pressure, you will form a tear-drop shape. Practice makes perfect :>)

than you ycknits! I think I found the name of it......slug border? or snail border

snail trail?

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, Edna De la Cruz uses this border often... and beautifully, of course. Check out her website if you'd like. it's designmeacake.com
