Hi all. I've just joined this website and I think its going to be great! My question is how do I make grass - I"ve read using tip #233 but then what? what type of frosting works best?

..I use BC icing that has been thinned with piping gel!

BTW....welcome to Cakecentral!! So glad to have you here!

One of decorating books says to use green fondant....and then use a scourer (steel wool) to make impressions of grass.

Hi welcome! Glad to have you here and I look forward to seeing what new ideas and creations you can bring to the community here!


Just use tip #233 with royal icing or buttercream (which ever one you are working with). I use a medium consistency bc to do my grass. Too thin and the "blades" will blend together and not look separate or stand up if you want them to. I like to mix up the look of my grass, some standing straight up, some so long that they bend over!

Good luck!


Again, welcome!

I just use regular buttercream..the same bag that i use for the leaves and vines, i just change the tip and it works great!

A quick way to make grass is by coloring coconut green and place on cake. I have used this technique many times when decorating children's birthday cakes.
