Get out those Russian piping tips, and let's get cake decorating!
These piping tips might just be my new best friend. Piping this tulip cake was a piece of cake, pardon the pun, thanks to these fantastic tips! This is not my first tulip cake, in fact I made a video making larger tulips on a cake years ago. Problem was, they didn't actually look all that great. At least not to me anyway. Aren't we always our worst critic?!
