FAQs

How do I pipe ruffles with the Loyal 402 tip?
Hold the wide end of the tip against the cake surface at a slight angle and pipe in a back-and-forth motion moving upward to create layers of ruffles. Consistent buttercream consistency is key for clean ruffle shapes.

How much buttercream do I need for a fully ruffled cake?
Ruffle cakes use more buttercream than a smooth finish. Use our buttercream quantity guide to calculate coverage, then add 20-30% extra for ruffle work.
