Making Cloud Decoration Out Of Buttercream
Decorating By Christy1911 Updated 17 Jun 2014 , 3:36am by DeniseNH
I made some MMF clouds and don't like the way they turned out - they have a yellow tint I think and dont really look like clouds. Is there a tip to pipe clouds onto a cake? Thanks for suggestions
The yellow tint might have come from your vanilla. Did you flavor your MMF?
You can make buttercream clouds using tip 12 or larger. It's the large round tip and you learn how to make clouds in Wilton Course 1 if you've taken it already. Very easy to do, just pipe a mound and kind of let the icing build up around itself and then pull the tip out. I would recommend the side swipe so that you don't have a peak on the cloud, unless you want a peak on the cloud!

I have done buttercream clouds on a white background in blue. But, you could do white clouds on blue. All I did is piped some half circles and used a small paint brush to give them a brushed affect. I have attached the picture.
Awww.... I love that cake! And the clouds came out really cool. That's going in my favorites right now!

I think I used tip 12 and just squiggled (technical term there 
) the white bc out in a shape I wanted. You can see it on the cloud cake on the first page of my gallery www.cakegeek.com
Violet cancels yellow...take a little out and add JUST A TAD of violet to your buttercream. mix it well. It will whiten a lot.
There was a thread on this a little earlier. I tried it, worked great!
Whoops! Sorry I didn't take in it was MMF. Ignore me, I had a bad night...
I used tip 12 on mine. I just sort of "puffed" little mounds. it was easy.
Merissa, that is so adorable. You are very talented. Those look like FBCT! Very nice.....can't wait to do those myself sometime!
I just realized that I have done clouds like that too on my care bear cake....they are so fluffy!

This is my cream cheese icing au natural (used Wilton's recipe).

Here is the same icing after I added about 3/4 a dip of toothpick in Wilton Violet gel color. It's pretty much as white as it can get without adding "White" gel color. I'm going to make clouds tomorrow. Wish me luck!!! :)
