070 - Ruffle Piping Tip

The 070 ruffle tip is a specialty piping tip designed to create layered, flowing ruffle effects on buttercream cakes, cupcakes, and fondant-covered tiers. Hold it at a slight angle and use a back-and-forth wrist motion to build cascading ruffles along cake sides, a technique that looks elaborate but comes together quickly once you get the rhythm. Available at Gloria's in Culver City for $1.75, it's a low-cost way to add a high-impact finish to wedding or celebration cakes.
