I had to make a birthday cake for my step-moms mother, and I had nothing to work with. I had no piping bag, no mixer, no ingediants. I had to use a cake mix, and frosting from a container. I made some modeling chocolate out of a white chocolate bar, powdered sugar and food coloring, and made some flowers. I used a ziploc bag to pipe some designs on the cake, and tried to make roses with a piping bag...and the boarder is from a tinfoil tip I made.
