3 Buttercream Vintage Piping Techniques Every Beginner Should Know (Shell, Ruffles & Rosettes)

Three piping tips. One cake. In this video I’m breaking down the three buttercream piping techniques every beginner should learn first - shell border, ruffles three ways with a leaf tip, and roses with the rosette piping tip. I’ll show you the tip angle, the pressure, the motion, and the mistakes to avoid for each one. By the end of this video you’ll know exactly how to use all three. Best temperature for piping SMBC: 16–18°C / 61–64°F - any warmer and your buttercream won’t hold its shape.
