measure I’m going to use a paste to
measure I’m going to use a paste to color it you can use liquid liquid is
color it you can use liquid liquid is
color it you can use liquid liquid is more readily available so that’s got it
more readily available so that’s got it
more readily available so that’s got it what it’s got going for it but because

piping bag so just gather it all up with
piping bag so just gather it all up with your spoon euler there it is and now it
your spoon euler there it is and now it
your spoon euler there it is and now it needs to go into the piping bag just pop
needs to go into the piping bag just pop
needs to go into the piping bag just pop it right down to the bottom and then
it right down to the bottom and then
it right down to the bottom and then kind of create a collar with your hand
kind of create a collar with your hand
kind of create a collar with your hand and just kind of wipe all the excess
and just kind of wipe all the excess

all the icings right down at the nib I
all the icings right down at the nib I put the twist over my knuckle so I’ve
put the twist over my knuckle so I’ve
put the twist over my knuckle so I’ve got a really good grip on it and that
got a really good grip on it and that
got a really good grip on it and that way also I can kind of squeeze from the
way also I can kind of squeeze from the
way also I can kind of squeeze from the top and everything will just go down
top and everything will just go down
top and everything will just go down rather than trying to escape out the
rather than trying to escape out the
rather than trying to escape out the other side I’ve just got a bit of
other side I’ve just got a bit of
other side I’ve just got a bit of greaseproof paper here and we’re just
greaseproof paper here and we’re just
greaseproof paper here and we’re just going to use that to Python just to get
going to use that to Python just to get
going to use that to Python just to get a bit of practice and I think you should
a bit of practice and I think you should
a bit of practice and I think you should do this too just because it will really
do this too just because it will really
do this too just because it will really help you understand how to control your
help you understand how to control your
help you understand how to control your piping bag it’s handy to have a just a
piping bag it’s handy to have a just a
piping bag it’s handy to have a just a napkin close by so that you can clean
napkin close by so that you can clean
napkin close by so that you can clean your nip if by squeezing and wiping at
your nip if by squeezing and wiping at
your nip if by squeezing and wiping at the same time I’m just going to show you
the same time I’m just going to show you
the same time I’m just going to show you basic lines for now you want to make a
basic lines for now you want to make a
basic lines for now you want to make a connection at the beginning and at the
connection at the beginning and at the
connection at the beginning and at the end but in the middle bit I have it
end but in the middle bit I have it
end but in the middle bit I have it about a centimeter away from the surface
about a centimeter away from the surface
about a centimeter away from the surface and just gently pull and squeeze at the
and just gently pull and squeeze at the
and just gently pull and squeeze at the same time and then lay the kind of piece
same time and then lay the kind of piece
same time and then lay the kind of piece of string if you like wherever you need
of string if you like wherever you need
of string if you like wherever you need it to go and then just end it with a
it to go and then just end it with a
it to go and then just end it with a little point with dots you want to be
little point with dots you want to be
little point with dots you want to be vertical with your pipe and you finish
vertical with your pipe and you finish
vertical with your pipe and you finish it with a little down and up motion if
it with a little down and up motion if
it with a little down and up motion if you dope again like a nasty little
you dope again like a nasty little
you dope again like a nasty little people what you want to do is squeeze it
people what you want to do is squeeze it
people what you want to do is squeeze it and pop it in
so the third shape you’ll make will
so the third shape you’ll make will probably be a curve and again you want
probably be a curve and again you want
probably be a curve and again you want to start with a connection bring it off
to start with a connection bring it off
to start with a connection bring it off the surface because you’re gently
the surface because you’re gently
the surface because you’re gently squeezing not I’m not pulling too fast
squeezing not I’m not pulling too fast
squeezing not I’m not pulling too fast once we’ve got the balance right you can
once we’ve got the balance right you can
once we’ve got the balance right you can use this like it’s a piece of string and
use this like it’s a piece of string and
use this like it’s a piece of string and just drop it down wherever you want and
just drop it down wherever you want and
just drop it down wherever you want and when you finish what you’re doing just
when you finish what you’re doing just
when you finish what you’re doing just connect at the end like that so there
connect at the end like that so there
connect at the end like that so there are the three main shapes that you’ll be
are the three main shapes that you’ll be
are the three main shapes that you’ll be using with a piping tube let’s get
using with a piping tube let’s get

right of each part of the letter and
right of each part of the letter and here’s all with a little bit using the
here’s all with a little bit using the
here’s all with a little bit using the string method and then I’m going to
string method and then I’m going to
string method and then I’m going to follow the curve of the cake to write
follow the curve of the cake to write
follow the curve of the cake to write food tube on the bottom here that means
food tube on the bottom here that means
food tube on the bottom here that means I’m going to need to turn my cake every
I’m going to need to turn my cake every
I’m going to need to turn my cake every now and then just so that I can keep
now and then just so that I can keep
now and then just so that I can keep looking at what I’m doing straight on
so there it is really cute decorated
