Cut off the tip of a decorating bag and insert a grass tip, a multi-opening decorating tip with several small, round holes.
Step 2
Tint crusting buttercream frosting green with food coloring gel, adding the gel a little at a time until you achieve the desired shade. Fill the bag with the green frosting. If desired, make two or three separate shades of green to achieve a more natural look like you would see on a real lawn.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of green frosting over the cake where you want to make grass. While optional, this field of green provides a background so you can't see the cake through the frosting grass blades.
Step 4
Hold the bag upright at a 90-degree angle to the cake or cupcake surface, positioning the tip about 1/8 inch above the surface.
Step 5
Squeeze the bag with firm pressure to push the frosting through the holes in the grass tip. Stop squeezing the bag when the grass reaches the desired height. Pull the tip straight away from the cake or cupcake. If you want grass longer than 1/8 inch, lift the bag away from the cake slowly.
Step 6
Reposition the tip directly beside the first bit of piped grass. Squeeze the bag to make a second tuft of grass, stopping and pulling away when you reach the desired height. Repeat this process until the desired area is filled in with grass.

Apply green food coloring gel to a small ball of rolled fondant. Knead the fondant in your hands to incorporate the color, adding more gel as needed to achieve the desired shade. You can make different shades of green and knead them a few times to blend the colors without mixing them completely.
Types of Food Coloring
Liquid food coloring is an all-around coloring agent, good for dough, cakes and cookies. Because its base is water, the color isn't intense and tends toward pastel. You'll use more liquid food coloring to create your favorite color than you would with other types of food coloring.
Going Green
St. Patrick's Day and the Christmas holidays are when you typically need to create dark green icing. Unless you're working with professional food coloring that comes in a variety of colors, you have only the four in your package to play with.
Mixing the Food Coloring
A spatula is the best way to mix in the colors for your frosting. Add your color and mix in a figure-eight pattern until all the color is blended into the icing. While one hand is working the spatula, use the other to turn the bowl counter-clockwise. And don't forget to scrape the icing at the bottom of the bowl.
Maturing the Color
An intense color needs time to mature in the icing. After you've colored the icing, let it sit for a few hours. You'll see the color deepen as time passes.
Helpful Hints
When mixing colors to create a deep green or any deep color, gel gives more intensity than liquid and won't dilute your icing. If your green is getting too yellow, pull back on the yellow coloring and focus on the blue.
