I'm doing a test run this weekend for a superbowl cake i'll be making and I was going to use the grasstip to do a border and maybe even the sides of the cake. I was using some leftover BC I had to practice with it but its a cross between thin and medium consistency so i'm havng problems with it. I'm assuming it needs to be stiff consistency? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have done grass but I didn't have a grass tip and I don't know what it looks like. I used a writing tip and starting at the base I pulled upwards creating 'grass'. it came out just fine but I did have a stiff icing or your grass blades may fall over.
I use medium/stiff consistancy as well...a bit more towards the medium though. Instead of thining my icing with water, I thin it with light corn syrup...that gives the icing a nice elasticity so your grass will pull out nicely and lay pretty well also. I did the Over The Hill cake I have posted in my pictures that way. Hope this helps some.
