Can you show a picture o what type of clouds you are talking about?

I made clouds once with icing using the tip 12 and just free handing it into puffy clouds you could also do them in different sizes with a smaller all tip like tip 8

hope this helps

Use a #12 tip and try a "swirly" motion. Go back and push in any peaks that might form.

I'm so glad you asked this, I'm making a cake with clouds tomorrow but haven't thought it through yet. I was thinking about just piping them but would love to know what others have done!

I have a couple of cakes with clouds (thomas the train or winnie the pooh) I do not know if they are the type of clouds you are talking about, but I use a tip 12 also and just make a bunch of random 'puffs'

you can frost the sky part of your cake in blue, then squirt or glob some white on top of the blue and run the spatula across it all to blend. Here's one I did like that. I think on this cake, I had added the blue on top of the white frosted cake. either way, it worked to my satisfaction.

I don't know if they even have this, but if you want a 3D looking cloud .... can you get white cotton candy? or does it only come in colors?

White buttercream means either white butter if you can get it, or an all shortening recipe.
