Thanks for the link! That is really elegant!

I think the video says a 44 or 43 tip.

I would be interested in who the cake artist is of the Homer cake also.

By the looks of it, it's a border they use A LOT. It's very pretty!

IMHO, I think she is using maybe a 21 or 32 star for the border and maybe a #3 for the lining. What does everyone else think. I want to try this now!

I just wanted to do something more "elegant" for a christening cake I have for this weekend. Especially since it's for a little girl. I'm kinda getting bored with the same old - same old.

O.k.....it's an English border - a modified Lambeth. I had some books by Mary Ford that featured this type of border.
Use a large open star tip like 32 or so; it's just a curved, long tailed shell built up to 3 or more layers - some of which can be a different color.
The 1st layer has a slight zigzag, then a straight layer; next, maybe a smaller star tip layer either straight or slight zigzag; then a med round tip - like 4. This can have a zigzag or be straight; but from there decrease the size of the tip by one for each layer on top. You are always piping right on top of the previous work.
