what wilton tip(s) do I need for the borders/hearts/flowers on this cake? can you tell me which tip goes for which thing? thank you!
Since I am purchasing at michaels, the tips should be wilton ones. ( http://www.wilton.com is their site )
This is the cake:

Okay, I'll answer as I figure each one out -- I hope you don't mind.
First of all, the hearts are made with a tip #3
The flowers appear to be a swirl flower that can be made with a #2D tip, using a tip #3 for the dot in the middle.
It's hard to tell exactly what the bottom three borders are -- it looks like round dots made with a round tip. Depending on the dot size, it could be any tip ranging from #8 through #12. When you are shopping for Wilton tips at Michael's, look to see the actual tip opening. If you're unsure, always go for a smaller size -- you can always make the dot bigger than the hole opening, but can't make it smaller using a larger tip.
The border around the top layer looks like smaller dots, maybe using a tip ranging from #3 through #6. I can't tell what's bordering the fondant ribbon -- more dots? If so, it appears to be the same size as the top layer border. I would use the same tip.
It's a beautiful cake. Good luck!!

I'm not sure what the numbers of each tip are, at this moment. But one tip has a small round opening on front. Use thatone for the little white buttons, or whatever the dots are. Then the ribbon tip and the small star tip. Those are mysuggestions.

it depends on the border, tipe of flower, and what you want you'r hart to look like. most borders use tip #31 roses take the tip #125 you can make a hart with almost any tip. tip #79 & tip #80 work good for flowers also. tip #104 & 101 work for smaller flowers and roses. they also work for dasies and those swerly flowers.
