I am new at cake decorating and I was wondering... How do you make clouds using buttercream icing?

I use the larger round tips like 10 or 12 and just let the BC sort of ooze out and I do this in a type of circular oval motion to create clouds.Sort of puffy!

I use a large tip too but I just pipe lots of circles of different pressures, they turn out kind of puffy and cartoony if that's what you're going for.

Here's a closeup of a cloud border I used on my dd's birthday cake... I used a very large round tip and squeezed and released to try to make them fluffy looking.
