Lotus & Oreo cupcake Combo box with Russian piping tip:
I’m loving my new piping tips!
I’ve only showcased 2 of them so far, I have 10 more to get through. From what I understand from my research on Russian piping tips, they have many intricate cut-outs. Unlike standard piping tips that have one large shaped hole, this means when you squeeze out the icing you can form a whole flower, however in my opinion I don’t think it is limited to just that.
In this Lotus and Oreo combo box I used a 2 tone red and orange icing for the Oreo cupcakes which resembles a meringue cookie. I’ll definitely be using this technique more in the future and experimenting with different colour combinations. The Lotus cupcake’s icing has a rose like quality.
How they got their name is sort of a mystery. People say that they were invented in Moscow because each tip represents a different Russian flower. Whether or not this is true, it is still an amazing tool!
