Is this hard? I took a cake decorating class years ago, but it was all simple stuff. And who knows if I remember anything.
Want something cute for R's cake. Going to do some stars on the top, something like one of these two.

The lower one would be easy-- looks like just cutting some fondant?
The top one would be medium-- it's just a big ribbon tip looped back and forth... if you like the look of that one better, just try once and see how it goes. It wouldn't be hard-- I think the hardest part would be making sure they were all the same width-- like you'd need to plan out how many "sections" would go around the cake.
Both cakes are really cute! Good luck!

I've done the top one. It is not really hard at all, you just need the correct tip. you just squiggle it back and forth. I think I found a youtube video to show me but this was my first try and turned out well I think. The most important thing will be using the correct kind of icing for it to look right. I used Swiss Merengue Buttercream which is both gorgeous and delicious. But it is sort of a PITA to make and you definitely need a stand mixer.

@Mrs. Twine: 2nd picture is just to show the stars on the top that I want to do. I am not going to do fondant. I can't stand the taste of it.
@Mae: @T.H.O.U.: So it is a good thing I am going to do a trial run. I found a recipe I am going to try.
