done a 3D panda bear or any kind of bear and not used a star tip?
I am making a cake for my cousins little girls 1st birthday and it has to be the 3d panda (tradition on the dad's side) but I really dislike cakes covered in the star tip. I was trying to think how I could make it look like fur. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
sure use the grass tip instead, it looks like fur, or you could just cover it roughtly with icing and lightly pull a fork thru to make the fur look.
here is a link to a bear done with this tip...

see what you think
cheers!
The grass tip actually produces 'hair' when you push the icing through it. It would take ages to cover a bear with the grass tip (or you could use a sugar shaper with the grass plate at the end) but it would look better than the star tip would. ALternatively you could push very stuff royal icing, buttercream through a seive to get the same effect - you'd need to experiment with the thickness of the buttercream to make sure it held after pushing it through.
