Basically, you can make your own paper template, and lay it on your cake. Using a pin and prick holes in your fondant/buttercream all around the template. That’s your guide to pipe within. Only if your really good with a piping bag, and have a good eye could you do free style. Also, I have a set of Wilton push in molds….fancy scrolls etc. They leave impressions on your cake to follow. Got them at Michael’s.
I have a decorator I follow here on CD: Nancy’s Fancy Cakes & Catering. She does amazing buttercream piped cakes. I bet if you messaged her, she would most likely have some good tips.
Hope this helps.
