I purchased Russian tips awhile ago, and they sit in my baking closet because I am too intimidated to use them😂 I will have to pull them out and give them another try! How do you get that gorgeous coral color buttercream, and do you have a buttercream recipe to share? Thank you so much! Love your videos ❤
