Step 1: The first step is to cover
your cake with a thin layer of icing to seal in all of the crumbs. If you
have time, it's ideal to stick the cake in your refrigerator for a half hour or
so to help firm up this outside layer.
Step 2: Once your crumb coat is
finished, you are ready to start piping ruffles. (If you are a perfectionist,
you can add one more step at this point and can draw vertical lines spaced
1" apart in the crumb coat to use as a guide for your ruffles. I opted
to just eyeball it, which ended up causing some of my ruffle rows to be a tad
bit uneven but in a cute undone sort of way).
Step 3: Get out your icing bag!
I used a Wilton no. 102 tip to frost my cake, but any petal tip would do
the job.
Step 4: Starting at the bottom of your first row (thick end of the tip towards the cake) move your icing tip back and forth, stacking the icing to build a vertical column reaching to the top of the cake.
Step 5: Continue the process, creating 1" inch columns surrounding the entire cake.
Step 6: How you want to finish the top is up to you! I decided to continue the ruffle theme and used the same Wilton no. 102 tip for the top of the cake. Starting from the outside and working in, I worked my way around the cake moving the icing tip back and forth as I spiralled the icing in.
