I am making a lemon cake for a family BBQ this weekend and I would love to do a simple yellow frosting with white polka dots in butter cream, but I don't know how; do you pipe a big blob and then smoosh it down? I would love some ideas...

I melt some colored choc. melts, spread the melted chocolate thin on parchment and then cut out the size I want with the end of a pastry tip and attach them to the cake using the BC frosting if I have to.

Yeah I thought of that or mmf, but someone on here did it with butter cream and I would like to figure that out as time is of the essance and I do not feel like making mmf etc. But thanks for the suggestion.

I always just pipe the round dot with a #10 tip then let dry a minute then push the tit down with my fingr dipped in powdered sugar and smooth if neede wih my finger some more.

Your best bet since time is short is to check out www.wilton.com. It is Wilton's website and it has a link to tutorials that walk you through it with photos. Basically, you pipe a little blob, stop squeezing the bag, then pull the tip around and away to the side - not straight up. The pics on Wilton's site will show you what I'm talking about. Good Luck and have fun! I love the look of dots on cake!

Thanks! I thought I would probably have to smooth with my finger but now I know which tip to use! And I will check out the tutorial...
