This is a test cake for starters. I’ve never been super into vintage piping and I’m making a cake for a friend who loves it. I know people say online it’s not too hard but I find it to be
very hard!!! I need to grab a thinner tip for the sides of the cake for sure and I want to do more side decorations I just don’t know what would look good.

Your “test cake” looks great!!!!! I think you’re right, you just need a smaller tip for the sides. Otherwise, it’s perfect! 🤩
Those look pretty good, I did similar (heart) cakes this month with the same style.
They make flexible rulers that poke into the cake and leave light holes so all your ribbons sag in the same potion, which I thought was pretty neat.
No matter what tip I used to make ribbon/pipling/ruffles.. they all looked nice as long as the hand movement was controlled and even. Lots of wiggles with a leaf-tip left nice looking ruffled ribbon shapes.
No matter what tip I used for those arc things on the side, running a second line parallel to it with a different tip always looks great.
You may be able to get away with no piping tip and just cutting a small hole in the bag to get smaller lines.
I love how fancy the white on white looks. I think you’re cake is awesome !
Looks pretty good
