How do I do this? I can't find it anywhere. I've seen it on cakes at the grocery store and think it would go well on a cake I'm currently enlisted for. icon_smile.gif Thanks.

If I'm understanding what you'r asking for ... It might be a good idea to pipe the words first in the same color your banner will be ... just to see how much space you need for the words ... then outline the words in the banner shape you want, fill in completely with tip 3 or 4 (completely covering up your words), then spread the bc around with a tiny smooth tool to eliminate the lines made from the tip, then when it crusts, smooth with a viva paper towel and re-pipe the words on the banner with tip 2 or 3 in the contrasting color.

Little Linda- that seems like a pretty good way

Theirs seems to be from one tip? Is there a 2 inch wide tip (Like an icing tip without the ridges and smaller) I gather they start piping left, come back over it, but slightly down so the already piped is visible still and go the length they need, then cross over that a little to finish, but I still would need a tip capable of that...any ideas?

Nope, just saw it at the grocery store and was wondering how.
