Piping Tips
Piping can be tricky. A couple ways you can assure your frosting doesn’t go oozing out the wrong end, seal it up!
Whether you're decorating for the holidays, a birthday or a combination of the 2, let's get you on track to pipe like a pro!
Beginners!
Use a twist tie, snap bag clip, or rubber band to tie up the back end of the bag.
OR
Roll the end of the bag and clip it with a chip bag clip. A little clumsier so not recommended for little hands.
Feeling like a pro?
Use your index finger and thumb to seal off the back.
Starting at your middle finger, squeeze down the bag.
The more frosting used the more pressure you’ll need from your ring and pinky fingies!
Bingo bango, look at you go! Reminiscent of chop sticks for sure.
No matter which piping technique you choose, make sure to get the sprinkles on within about 5 minutes. The frosting stays sticky in that time.
Beyond 5 minutes the frosting will set and those cute decorations will bounce right off and you get to take out the broom. I speak from multiple experiences. 🙃
If it is a little too late you can always smoosh the sprinkles on top with the sprinkles in hand OR if frosting a cookie, flip it with the frosting side down and dip it in! There’s always another unique look waiting to be discovered!
