I can’t help w/recipe but just wanted to say I’ve read sooo much about the troubles people have w/those tips....& yyes from reading it needs to be stiff.   Have you tried googling  it?

I have a few of the tips but have only used them once.  I used a moderately stiff ABC and they worked pretty well.  I did make it about as stiff as if I were piping roses.

I had great result with smbc using this recipe (add 1 Tbsp of vanilla or other flavoring, it's missing in the ingredient. I never had luck with abc.

Thanks for your help. Maybe I will try the Swiss buttercream.  The cake is beautiful and the flowers show great detail!
