Tip 233 - Making Grass & Hair

Cake decorating tip 233 is used to make grass and hair on a cake. This is a very simple cake decorating technique that can be used on character shaped cakes as well. It is perfect for making a furry teddy bear or puppy. It's also great to fill in areas on themed cakes such as fishing, football, or gardening cakes with areas of grass.

I have included a cake decorating video to help you learn this simple cake decorating technique. A list of supplies and written instructions are also included below the video.

Cake Decorating Instructions

• Hold the pastry bag at a 90 degree angle slightly above the surface of the cake
  
  
• Squeeze and immediately lift the bag straight up and stop squeezing
  
  
• Pipe close together or in a cluster to form the grass or hair look
  
  
• If you want your hair or grass to be longer, simply continue to squeeze the bag longer before stopping and pulling away.
