Hi, could someone please instruct me on how to do the rope border. I would like to try and pipe it on. I really like the effect it gives a cake and would love to give it a shot. Thanks so much! icon_biggrin.gif

I'll try and attach a photo of this technique. I'm crossing my fingers it will work.

I just learned how to do in class last week!! I love it, too. It's kind of an S shape that keeps continuing. I will attach directions if I find any for you!!

Edited...It is tip 21. It's like doing a sideways "S"....Still looking for a link.

OK, great angela! icon_smile.gif thanks for your quick response. I'm hoping you can find some directions. It really does look neat, huh? Is it hard to do?

Use a tip 21 or 32, and think of how a S looks......use medium pressure squeeze out some icing in the shape of a S, and for the next part of the rope, tuck the S in to the second part of the first S....(kinda a up and over stroke...hope this helps...dawn
