What do you think looks better- grass piped with a grass tip or a fondant cut grass border? (so like a fondant "ribbon" around, with cuts all around it to make it grass shaped)
I mean for a bottom border on a cake. So say the cake is blue for sky, then the bottom of it is green/grass along the border. I'd post pics but this forum won't allow me to attach a picture in a thread!! so annoying.
Generally, I perfer a piped grass border but there are instances where I really like the fondant grass, like in a "forest" piece. Fondant, to me, tends to look more like moss.
thank you @sandrasmiley I was thinking of a simple fondant border on the bottom like this -

but then I feel like you say, a piped border would look better more like real 3d grass. The downside is with piped border, there is more chance of screwing it up lol. I've never piped with a grass tip, is it easy ?
I know I could also form grass from a million pieces of different size fondant grass bits but I'm not doing that :D
Oh, I see what you are saying! I didn't understand. The fondant border looks great, go for it! Yes, piping grass is easy. Just practice on a piece of wax paper a few minutes to get the hang of it. If you have to do a lot, like fur on a teddy bear, it is very hard on the old hands!
