I believe we used the Wilton triple star tip #2010 for the grass. We just allowed the icing to come out into a longer shape than a regular star. The royal icing and buttercream were homemade. I’ve never actually bought icing – I’ve always made my own! Good luck!

Thanks for answering..here’s another question..I’m using Wilton tips which one did you use for the grass and did you make your own royal icing and butter cream ..I usually make my own..THANKS

Thanks! We just dipped the pretzel sticks in chocolate and let them set. Then we simply stuck them around the edge of the cake like candles. I don’t think any of them were in the shape of cross bars; they were simply lined up close together to look like a fence. One word of advice – a large section of the cake collapsed because we put the pretzel fence too close to the edge of the cake. I’d recommend putting them inward 1″ to 1.5″ and leave more of a border than we did. However, we just covered the open cake with chocolate to make it look like dirt, and the cake looked even more decrepit after that. It all worked out well in the end! Good luck!
