030 - Ruffle Piping Tip

The 030 ruffle tip is a specialty piping tip designed to create layered, fabric-like ruffle effects in buttercream or royal icing on tiered cakes and cupcakes. Hold it at a slight angle and use a back-and-forth motion to build delicate, cascading layers that give wedding and celebration cakes a draped texture. Pick one up for $1.49 at Gloria's in Culver City and practice on parchment before moving to your actual cake.
