I've been asked to have a go at re-creating the piping detail in the pic below from this absolutely stunning wedding cake! I've done piping before, but it's been more delicate looking, with a small hole nozzle, however this type of piping looks a lot bigger and not so delicate lol ..... would anyone know what size or number nozzle it was and maybe if there's a special technique for it?? The cake isn't needed until next year so plenty of time to practice, I just wanted to ask others and delve into it more before I say a definite yes and quote for it!
Thanks for any advice given :)
I always find it first depends upon the size of YOUR cake not what the photo looks like. If your version is smaller, like a 10, 8, 6, 4 you'd probably use a #2 tip. But if your cake is 14, 12, 10, 8 a #3 or #4 would be about right.
Also it depends on how heavy of a squeezer you are. I keep thinking I need a #3 for detail and every time I use it, it looks really heavy because I'm using a lot of pressure to increase my speed. I can use a #2 tip and get those heavier details in your photo.
..........and it definite has over piping like DD mentioned....
ABeautiful isnt it Enga!
Thank you all for your advice! The size cakes she has requested at the mo and its only a 3 tier cake she wants is 11, 9 and 7 .... and around 4" high each cake .... she doesnt want exactly the same thank goodness lol but she wants something similiar to the piping design :)
Sorry for any typo errors, my phone isnt the best to work on lol
