This cake was done by my local baker at HRH dumplins for my sons first birthday......[/b] Braxtonkc2.jpeg  Description:  Filesize:  105.38 KB  Viewed:  56 Time(s) Braxtonkc2.jpeg  Description:  Filesize:  105.38 KB  Viewed:  56 Time(s) Rylan Forum SuperStar!

I used a tip #10, if you want bigger clouds use a bigger tip....you could even do it with just a coupler if you had to. I just piped a little mound and then drug it towards the center for the bottom part of the cloud, then piped mounds on top of that to give it more of a 3-D look. Just mess around with a round tip, it's really very easy!

And you can use a coupler without the seam.
