Hi,
I love the border on the cake shown below, and pm'd the creator (gwu90) a while ago and also asked the question on some of her cake photo comments, but I have never gotten a response. Could anyone tell me how this is done or what tip is used?
Thanks in advance!!!
I've been noticing the "ruffly" looking border lately too. I hope someone can answer your question. I'm a bit curious about it too.
I'm not sure but I would like to find out too...
You can do a basic ruffle using a rose tip. This one looks a bit more detailed, like the petals on an Apple Blossom .... http://www.wilton.com/technique/Apple-Blossoms .
There was a thread back in March 2006, with a photo of Sharon's (sugarshack) cake...asking about a border she did like this one.
I do this border also, but it's easlier for me to just quote her:

hello everyone; that is my cake! I was told by a friend you needed some help with the borders!
the bottom border was invented by Jennifer Dontz. the leafy part is done with a tip 104, fat side to the cake, the tip laying on its side; squeeze hard and then go in and out away from cake, toward cake... etc. then pipe over that with a star tip or whatever you like. the top border is done with a tip 98 ( like a half moon shell shape) and it's one motion, kind of a reverse shell motion, and on the down stroke you let it droop over the side. I dont know if I made myself clear or not, but I hope that helped some!!! SHaron (Unquote)
Hope this helps.
God Bless,
Sharon

Thanks so much for your responses! I looked at the directions on how to make a pansy/apple blossom and just can't visualize how to do that as a border......(sorry--I'm a total visual learner!!! 
)
Edna, btw--I have spent a good part of the afternoon today watching your YouTube tutorials--they are so awesome and it's so nice of you to take the time to do those! Now, how about a tutorial on this border!!!!

Thanks so much for the info, grannys3angels! We must've been responding at the same time, so I didn't see your answer initially. The directions are helpful, and now that you post them I do recall seeing that border on some of Sharon's cakes too. I think it's so beautiful!
Thanks again!
Your Welcome Michele 
IIt is a beautiful border, I just wish I could get it as good as Sharon's and the cake you posted in this thread
God Bless,
Sharon
