5 Tricks For Russian Tips

In this cake decorating tutorial I demonstrate 5 tricks for Russian tips (also called flower piping tips or flower nozzles), taking you through each stage of using them, from putting the tips in piping bags, preparing buttercream of the right consistency, different techniques to fill piping bags to make two tone and three tone coloured flowers, how to prepare your cake before piping the flowers, details of the piping technique and troubleshooting of why flowers "buckle" or why the petals break off as you pipe them, and different options for finishing touches. These are the tips I used for the cakes in this tutorial: amzn.to/2SCcZZG

Thank you. I was REALLY having trouble with my Russian tips. I'm so glad I found your video. You are very helpful.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm so happy it was helpful!

[@keninthekitchen1562]

Using a glass to assist with adding the buttercream into the piping bag is an Excellent tip! And the saran wrap trick, absolutely brilliant! Seriously, this video out of all I've watched has been the most helpful. Now I'm definitely not afraid to try multiple colors. Thank you for this video 😃👨‍🍳👍👌💖

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Wow, thank you for the lovely comment! Good luck with your multicoloured flowers!

[@christiedecker2724]

Thank you. My set of tips came today. They had no instructions with them, now, I know how to use them. Blessings!

[@moxeyjc]

I've been watching a lot of these tutorials about using Russian tips and yours is the first one that's actually been helpful! Thank you!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

That's so nice to hear! Thank you!!

[@jacolackalyn]

I love everything about this video. There isn't loud blaring music..and super soft talking. It's perfect. Most you-tubers can't get it right to save their life. You did everything perfectly.☺️

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Wow, thank you so much! That's really nice feedback!

[@chantalhenderson6994]

Thank you, Just tidying up the pantry and found my old russian tips and thought ought I keep them.... Now i will.

[@shreyajaiswal7082]

[@tereamerine470]

I received my Russian tips today. I have to be honest I was intimated. I decided to watch your blog to make sure I knew what I was getting into. I'm a self taught baker and decorator and your instructions are perfect. I can hardly wait to try your ideas and hints on my next cake. Thank you 😊

[@tambudzaimemorybangure9697]

You've jus solved all my problems. I was about to throw away this nozzle kkkkk. You're great 😊

Hey Emily. I am simply in awe of these tips, have used them quite a number of times , but still never managed to pinpoint the issues you have addressed about why the flowers have rough edges or why they were starting to mush up halfway through the cake. Thanks for explaining it. I now know how to tackle these!! 😁😁

Thanks for this. I think my frosting consistency has always been the problem...lol. One thing I do to avoid warming up the piping bag is to used rubberized garden gloves to hold the bag. This prevents the heat transfer from my hand :)
