Are there any good tutorials or patterns for Cornelli Lace. I can't take Wilton classes as they are all given during the time I'm at work. Sooo, I'm going to have to be a self taught decorator for now. Any tips or tutorials will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I was always told that you keep going and never let the strings touch each other (does that make sense?), and end and begin at the edges of your cake.

I was reading up on that but I meant like the design, are they just any type of odd shaped semi circular thing? LOL. Either way it looks very detailed and involved.

As far as I know there is no specific design, just random squiggly lines. I have a cake in my gallery that has it on it. I wish I would have used a smaller tip for it, but other than that I was happy with how it turned out.

You use thin icing. You make rounded loose Rs and Ss or Vs. Your lines should not cross over each other or touch each other. The lines should not end or begin where you can see them. You can hide them under a border or other decoration.

I have been told to make s' and r's. I had a hard time doing that. ALso, to make them more rounded than I did. But I did get alot of compliments on mine.. Just try it.

Okay, I took a second look at my cake. The side are touching icon_redface.gif and the lines were flattened with my tip icon_redface.gificon_redface.gif Guess my memory of that cake was better than the actual cake icon_lol.gif

there is no specific pattern for cornelli lace. no two cakes will be the same. as everyone else said the lines are not to touch or cross. you can go as small or big as you like. small is always more time consuming but will be more delicate looking. its fool proof.
