Piping Techniques

Let’s face it. There’s a big difference between just icing a cake and doing simple yet elegant piping techniques that add character and delicious flavor.

Hand positioning, steadiness and knowing how and when to use the appropriate tip can take you a long way. I don’t think anyone would argue with the fact that icing is one of the best if not the best part of the taste. Now let’s make it the best part of the design too.
