INTRODUCING
The ULTIMATE Guide to Using your Russian Piping Tips!
What are Russian Piping Tips?
These incredible tips, also known as nozzles, are game-changers in the world of cake decorating. Unlike regular pastry tips, Russian Piping Tips allow you to create a complete flower with just one squeeze—petals, center, and all! It’s almost like magic!
BUT there is a learning curve in using these tips.
I just could not make these tips work, what am I doing wrong?
Does This Sound Like You?
✓ Frustrated by Constant Blobs: Are you struggling with creating beautiful flowers and only ending up with blobs?
✓ No Instructions: Did your tips come with no instructions on how to use them or what the piped flowers should look like?
✓ Confused by Strange Tips: Do you have no idea how to use those odd-looking tips in your set?
✓ Lost Excitement: Did you lose interest after struggling to make even one decent flower?
✓ Disappointed by the Experience: Are you disheartened that videos made it look so easy, but you’re facing a different reality?
✓ Tips Gathering Dust: Have you put your tips away in frustration, and now they’re sitting unused in the back of a drawer collecting dust?
Yup that's me too - in the beginning.
I remember when I first got the package and opened it with anticipation.
You know, those Russian piping tips that looked so amazingly easy to use, just pipe and boom you have a finished flower in a second. I kept seeing them everywhere and yay, I finally got mine!
I excitedly opened the box, checked out the tips, admired them for 5 seconds, and wondered how the piped flower of that particular tip would look like.
I started looking for accompanying instructions, guide, pictures… anything please?
There was NONE.
Ok that’s fine, I’ll just use it right away; it looked soo easy when they used it on those Youtube videos.
So I got a cupcake, piped on top of it, pulled the nozzle up, I was already beaming even before seeing what I made. I eagerly checked how the flower looked like.
It was a sad lonely BLOB on top of the cupcake.
Ok, ok, it’s the first time, I’m sure the next one will be fine.
I piped again. Blob. I piped again. Another blob again. Pipe. Blob. Pipe. Blob. See the pattern here?
NO beautiful flowers, just a cupcake full of blobs. I was so disappointed!
If you have tried using these tips, did that sound familiar to you? The struggle was real, right?
Well, time to bust out your tips once again. I've got you covered!
In this class I will show you how to finally use your tips properly so you are not getting blob after blob after blob and get flowers like these -

Hi there, I'm Darlene, baker, cake maker and creator of www.make-fabulous-cakes.com. It's a website that I started back in 2008 where I share my adventures in cake making, recipes and tips about cake decorating. I've been making cakes since 1997, and back then there was no internet, so I had to teach myself how to decorate cakes from books and magazines. Learn more about me here. Now with the help of the internet, my goal here is to help you shorten that learning process. Come and join me in my kitchen and let's start making that fabulous cake!
