I teach cupcake decorating classes and, after seeing countless videos online, couldn&#8217;t wait to get my hands on them. They have been exploding in popularity over the last few months &#8211; and for good reason. They are easy to use (with a little practice, of course) and create beautiful designs with little time or effort. One of my fellow teachers calls them cheater tips; I told her to mind her own business. Supposedly, these tips came from Moscow and each design represents a different flower in Russia &#8211; that&#8217;s the rumor, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I find that using a medium to firm consistency frosting works well for all the tips. Too soft or creamy of a frosting results in less detail or collapsed flowers &#8211; and nobody wants that. How can you tell if your frosting is a medium or firm consistency? I like to watch it in the mixer. As your buttercream gets firmer, it will form peaks as the paddle moves away from the sides of the bowl &#8211; the stiffer the peaks, the firmer the frosting. You can also pinch a little bit between your fingers and as it gets firmer, it will be harder to pull your fingers apart (don&#8217;t panic &#8211; it&#8217;s not like superglue, it just offers a little resistance). If the frosting gets a little too soft while working with it, you can simply pop the filled piping bag in the fridge for a few minutes to firm the frosting up.<\/p>\n<p>I have had good luck using American buttercream.\u00a0It tends to be a little more substantial and the consistency can be easily adjusted by adding more powdered sugar or milk. Plus, it&#8217;s a cinch to make. I haven&#8217;t yet tried using Swiss or Italian meringue buttercreams, but I suspect that they will be too soft to really hold the shape created by these tips.<\/p>\n<p>The tips (all made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenconservatory.com\/Pastry-Tips-Tubes-Bags-C504.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ateco<\/a>) begin at\u00a0number 241. Tips 241, 243, and 247 absolutely require a firm frosting. Anything softer doesn&#8217;t hold its shape well. With the other tips, a medium consistency produces more of an open flower vs. a crisp flower.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cp-image-h wp-image-20912\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-636x424.jpg\" alt=\"Russian Piping Tips\" width=\"636\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-636x424.jpg 636w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-122x81.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-318x212.jpg 318w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-428x285.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-214x143.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-01-text.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are my top 5 tips for using Russian tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Practice &#8211; they work just like other tips, but you have to get a feel for them and the correct consistency of frosting. It is almost a rule that the first flower never comes out right; don&#8217;t get discouraged, keep going!<\/li>\n<li>Add a leaf &#8211; you will end up with some spaces between your flowers and a leaf will fill the gap nicely. (I like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenconservatory.com\/Pastry-Tips-Tubes-Bags-C504.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ateco tip 352<\/a> for this.)<\/li>\n<li>Play with height &#8211; some of the tips are better suited than others for taller flowers. I&#8217;ve had the best luck with tips 242, 244, 245 and 247.<\/li>\n<li>Play with design &#8211; these tips look great on cakes or cupcakes. A single flower with a little leaf looks great on a mini cupcake. Cover the entire surface of your cake, do an elegant bouquet on one edge, add some along your border, or add these to a simple naked cake for a dramatic presentation!<\/li>\n<li>Go for color &#8211; mix and match colors for a pretty bouquet. I like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenconservatory.com\/Food-Coloring-C549.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gel paste<\/a> colors; the colors are very concentrated, so you don&#8217;t need very much and they are easy to blend. Use pastels for a pretty Easter or Mother&#8217;s Day cake or bright bold colors for a fun birthday cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cp-image-v wp-image-20910\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-428x642.jpg\" alt=\"Russian Piping Tips Cupcakes\" width=\"428\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-428x642.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-122x183.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-424x636.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-848x1272.jpg 848w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-212x318.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-856x1284.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-214x321.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-07-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you plan to use Stef&#8217;s delicious (like, forget the cupcake and grab a spoon delicious)\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/vanilla-buttercream-frosting\/\">vanilla bean buttercream<\/a><\/strong>, here are\u00a0some &#8220;tips&#8221; for using that frosting with Russian tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Vanilla bean buttercream is a very soft consistency &#8211; I added an extra cup of powdered sugar to bring it to a firmer consistency so it would be able to hold the shape of the piping tips. If you prefer more of a medium consistency, try adding half a cup of powdered sugar.<\/li>\n<li>The recipe calls for vanilla bean paste, which gives it all those beautiful vanilla specks. If you are coloring the frosting, you might want to substitute vanilla extract. I would suggest clear vanilla extract if you want a bright white.<\/li>\n<li>The recipe doesn&#8217;t make a large quantity (I got about 1 1\/2 cups), so you might consider doubling or even tripling the recipe if you have a lot of decorating to do&#8230; or if you grabbed your spoon &#8211; no judging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cp-image-h wp-image-20908\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-636x424.jpg\" alt=\"Russian Piping Tips\" width=\"636\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-636x424.jpg 636w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-122x81.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-318x212.jpg 318w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-428x285.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-214x143.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-09-titled.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cp-image-h wp-image-20907\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-636x424.jpg\" alt=\"Russian Piping Tips\" width=\"636\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-636x424.jpg 636w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-122x81.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-318x212.jpg 318w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-428x285.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-214x143.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Russian-Piping-Tips-08-labeled.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, if you missed my last post on Cupcake Project, you might not know that I think <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/using-couplers\/\">everyone should use couplers<\/a><\/strong> when piping frosting.
