Thank you for telling us about your mistakes. As a beginner decorator, I often want to give up after making a mistake. Other KZbinrs edit out any mistakes and experimenting that occurs when they're making their cakes. It's refreshing to see a more realistic cake making process with beautiful results.

[@meganwilliams2962]

making mistakes is how we learn, Lovely.

I couldn't agree more. it's wonderful to learn from other's mistakes, it helps !

[@parislady1925]

You are the best teacher on KZbin. No other Russian Ball Tips look half as good as yours. Thank you so much!

[@garypeterson1342]

Ok, you just showed me the most innovative techniques I have ever seen with getting the frosting into the bag. Amazing. Thank you.

[@debbielbhenley6965]

I love how much frosting is on the cake! No fondant, just yummy frosting! Beautiful!

[@moyyaglover9247]

My mind was blown when you did your layering on the wax paper then stuck it down in the piping bag. That looks so much easier than trying to stuff multiple colors in the bag itself. Very crafty with beautiful outcome!

[@opheliahamlet3508]

Marlyn, I appreciate how you're experimenting with the Russian piping tips for us. Taken singularly, they're impressive, finding ways to use them is the challenge. Thanks for for the lovely cake

[@sherryljones7071]

That is the easiest and quickest cake decorating I have ever witnessed! Thank you for sharing!

[@maryloubullerman1924]

I just ordered these tips. I like your video best of any I checked out. I worked with the "regular" Russian tips for the first time yesterday. So much fun!

[@eatingisgr8134]

Your voice was so calming and with the slow movements that you were making with the icing it was so relaxing and satisfying to watch and to hear

[@cathybaldry7822]

Thank you I saw a video ages ago about Russian ball tips but the person had no idea how to use them. That was great thank you

[@koraxacollins9645]

This cake is absolutely Gorgeous! Love seeing some show how these are meant to be used.

[@rhondacoxwithamazinggrace9867]

This cake is stunning. I've learned so much from watching this video. I just ordered a couple Russian piping tips and can't wait to get started. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@chickapey]

Next time I'm at Flour Confections, I'm checking these tips out for sure. The result is gorgeous and I love the method you used for getting the two colours in the bag.

[@angellaclarke1742]

This cake is absolutely beautiful!!! :-) I did enjoy watching it 3 times lol. Thanks so much for sharing! 💁🏽

[@Deee45]

So refreshing to see the honesty and easy steps in this video, thank you for that

[@MsTerrilee]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I'm going to get a Russian Ball Tip tomorrow and practice! Thank's for the instructional video‼️

[@leahv76]

do you have a recipe for the icing you used

[@yootoob4516]

Dear Arlene, One of the most valuable tips I gleaned from you is the use of Press-N-Seal wrap, but in several tutorials you call it "Saran Wrap." Just wanted to point this out in case you wanted to give credit to Glad Press-N-Seal. Thanks again for the very helpful tip!

[@01IveR01]

yoo toob thank for commenting this. I was over her thinking how is did her Saran not get all stuck together. Now I know it's not Saran wrap, thank you.

[@Appaddict01]

01IveR01 Both work. Most people actually use Saran wrap.

[@christinesutherland1719]

Love the end product of your decorated cake ! Beautiful!

[@sweetdaddycornchip]

I loved this cake! The tip about putting the saran wrap inside the bag was super!

[@ligiama.piedrahita6852]

[@nomdeplume2213]

Omg finally, a video where the person knows what theyre doing haha

[@denisepineda1788]

Boy, I love this cake. I have never seen this tip before. It sure makes easy flowers. I also love your hack with the plastic wrap. What an easy way to have multi-color flowers.

[@Sharon-mm8ql]

This is fantastic ! I bought the tips several months ago and made a mess of it and never tried again. You have inspired me to try again. I love how you made the flowers and froze them !! So much simpler than making them right on the cake. Thank You.

[@notg5121]

Beautiful! Do you find that once the flowers come back down to room temp does gravity take hold and they slip or wilt down the sides? Also, what buttercream do you use? SMC would be too unstable I would think.

[@BookUnbinder]

SMC?

I love this idea for using these tips on a whole cake instead of just cupcakes!

[@NatBenHarte]

That is the best use of the Russian Ball Piping tips I have seen. Excellent.

[@gracielamoralez7352]

[@shirleystory1835]

What a stunning cake! I'd seen these tips for sale and wondered how to make them...so a buge thank you for showing method used! I loved seeing how to correct any mistakes too.... so helpful!

[@emrsdca]

That was beautiful! I watched it twice! Loved the idea of prepping the frosting before putting in the piping bag.

OMY Goodness -- love this pretty little cake, my girlfriend just bought the ball tips and we are dying to give this a try, thank you for posting and sharing.

[@memeskitchen1727]

Enjoyed it. I am definitely going to make use of the techniques you use. I have the tips but really didn't know how to use them. Thanks.

[@goose7574]

Thank you for the video! I bought some of these tips and was wondering how to use them. Thanks!

[@barbaraseeley53]

Beautiful cake! Thank you for showing how to use the tip!

[@leomanoj001]

I had bought a set of these Russian tips and ball tips, but your video made me feel it's a Brilliant idea for best results so easily. Thanks for this video.

[@lynnfinger8442]

Very beautiful!! And it looks a lot easier than I thought it would be!

[@misskim2058]

Thank you! It looks nice (one could decide the "mistakes" were intentional mottling for a background), and the video is clear, with no fuss and silliness, and no irritating music---something that so many others feel they just MUST do. No cheese, just cake and frosting and a sensible voice! I appreciate that! Ahhh, and no headache from endless blathering and competing music, just a straightforward video that's easy to follow and looks just beautiful! Thanks:)

[@marlyndavis1367]

Awesome! I like the way you demonstrated the piping tips, you made it so easy😀👍🏽

[@johnshuttleworth983]

Fantastic job looks great thanks for the tips

[@julietrae526]

So gorgeous, I think I may use a similar technique on the cupcakes I am doing for a cancer awareness fundraiser next month! Wonderful show of repeat skill (it is so helpful to those trying to pick up a new piping technique) to see not just one flower then a time lapse, but multiple of the same. :)

[@lindabonskowski7165]

My daughter got me the Gemlon set for my birthday and I can't wait to use them!!! But want to watch more videos like this before I start flooding the house with cakes! This was so clever and informative! Thank you!

[@montrealconfections]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kathyutley1]

This is a beautiful and easy cake to make for Easter. Thanks for making this tutorial. I am going to try this cake this coming Easter for my grandchildren.
