Dots, Zig-zags and Lines
The dot technique can be used as a simple border for cakes, as well billowy clouds on cakes and cupcakes.
The Zigzag is a popular way to fill in outlined areas, perfect for ribbed sweater and cuff effects.
Zig Zags and lines of any type whether straight or curving can add visual interest to any cake or cupcake as you will see in these examples!
This is a great example of using lines to embellish your borders and switch them up a bit.
It's also a great example of using techniques in shape patterns to ad texture and visual interest.
On this design Bryson used rosettes, stars, dots and the emotion border with curving line enhancements.
This is a pretty funky designed that employs a couple different trends going on right now. The fault line cake meets a sprinkles explosion.
In this example Bryson used both rosettes and stars but then added the curving line to give you that fault line effect.
He also used the grass tip to add some additional texture and visual interest.

This cake is super fun with its various colors and use of a number of techniques taught and applied in interesting ways.
For example, you will use the rose tip (104) to create ruffles by applying the zig zag motion. This cake has, rosettes, stars, dots and the zig zag ruffle with some trendy sprinkles.
These cupcakes also use the zig zag technique using the 104 rose tip along with a large star tip to create the rosettes and a #32 star tip to make the puffy stars.
These cupcakes use a large start tip to create the rosettes. To create the zig zags, the rose tip angle was changed to create a more open ruffle that gives you a flower effect.
The star tip was also used, but the pressure was changed to create more of a flower look rather than a crisp star.
