I need help! I am definately better with fondant at this point than with buttercream, and stripes are getting the best of me. I am making a soccer cake for a friends kid and I was going to put the shirt stripes on the sides of the cake. The stripes would need to be at least 1" each, I'm thinking, alternating between light blue & dark blue vertically. I was thinking of doing the base coat in the light blue then placing the dark blue stripes on top, but how do you make them clean looking & smooth? Please help!
I would use a wide basketweave tip (there is one that is about 1" wide) turned so that the smooth side shows out. Then it's just piping it on.
I agree. Move your hand quickly so it doesn't ripple. good luck that sounds challenging.

Here'a piano cake I did and made the black keys from buttercream, using this technique.
