What tip do I use to make grass?

Use tip # 233. I love using this one for grass and for hair.

I 2nd the previous poster. Tip #233 works great!

I use 233 or 333. 333 is a thicker grass.

The average seems to be tip 233, I had the same query a couple of weeks ago. The alternative also is to push fondant thru a sugar gun or garlic press.

Thank you!

if your making grass out of fondant, you can use a "clean" play-dough press. It works really well..

I'm going to be using BC but just realized that I don't have the right tip! ARGH! Is there another tip I could use?

The only other thing I know of would be tip #2 but that means you'll pipe each individual blade of grass seperately. I suggest going out tomorrow and purchasing tip#233. Sorry.

I just thought of something else. You could use a small leaf tip and have bigger blades of grass. Tip #73 possibly. I would hold the tip at a 45 degree angle from the surface. Or you could do a manicured lawn where they have the rows of grass. I'd use two slightly different shades of green and use the serrated edge of the basketweave tip. I hope these makes sense to you.

Someone just posted this cake with grass:

It looks like they just used a star tip and I think it looks pretty good!

Thank you!!

233

This cake is 15x22 and is almost completely covered in grass. Even using tip 233 it was hand-breaking!

If anyone has ever done a large area in grass... without killing yourself... please let me know!

I agree #233 is the way to go and soooo easy. I did some cupcakes for Easter and it was great to use. They are in my pictures, but you really can't see how the grass turned out.
