    👩🏻‍🍳 Pipe a Princess Scallop and Lace Design

    The scalloped and laced buttercream design makes the cake look girly and intricate, but you’ll see that the techniques involved are actually quite simple! I’ve included some links within this post for more resources if you’d like to learn about these techniques in more detail. Let’s get started!

    To pipe a scallop-and-lace design onto your cake frosting, use a #4 round tip and pipe 3-4 inch scallops (half-circles) on the side of your cake. Before I pipe patterns on cakes, I let my fully frosted (flat-iced) cakes set up in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until the frosting is firm to the touch--I talk about this more in How to Bake and Layer Cakes Like a Pro.

    This type of piping works well with my Piping Buttercream recipe and my House Vanilla Cream Cheese Buttercream. Pipe small dots around the edge of the scallops as seen in my cake video.

    With the same # 4 round tip, go back inside the scallops and fill in a buttercream "squiggle lace" design, which is simply curvy lines of buttercream that do not overlap or meet-- you can learn more about this buttercream pattern with Wilton's Cornelli Lace Tutorial.

    🌼 Pipe Buttercream Flowers on the Cake

    Buttercream piping bags for a princess flower cake with russian flower piping tips

    I decorated this cake with a combination of simple white "rosette swirl" flowers with a #822 star tip, and two different types of flowers with Russian Flower Tips. I love the Russian flower tips for easy but detailed flowers.

    I thickened my Piping Buttercream with additional powdered sugar to make the flowers with Russian Flower Piping tips. Then I went back in with small details of purple and teal in #14 and #21 star tips, and added green buttercream leaves with a #352 leaf tip. As fate would have it, I forgot to press record when I added the flowers in my cake video below. If you'd like to learn more, here's a great tutorial I found on A Beginner's Guide to Russian Piping Tips.

    👑 Add a Princess Crown or Tiara

    This cake would not be complete without a princess crown or tiara topper!  I made this cake for my 5-year-old niece, and her favorite part was the sparkly princess crown that she could wear after the cake was cut. I used the silver crown from this Melissa and Doug Princess Crown set, but here are a few options that would be great on a princess cake:
