Hold the piping bag perpendicular to the cake surface, apply firm pressure, and then pull the bag straight upward as you release pressure. This creates individual grass blades. For a lush lawn effect, pipe in layers and vary the direction slightly to achieve a natural look. Can I use the Wilton 233 tip with royal icing? Yes — the 233 tip works well with medium-consistency royal icing and buttercream. For fur and hair effects, a slightly stiffer buttercream gives the strands better definition and hold. Avoid runny or very soft icings as the strands will not hold their shape. Browse the full piping tips range at Baking Pleasures, including our complete Wilton collection.
