instructions

Step 1

Holding tip just above surface, squeeze the bag, applying a steady even pressure. As the icing begins to build up, raise the tip with it, but keep the tip buried in the icing.

Step 2

Stop squeezing as you bring the end of the tip to the surface.

Step 3

Lift the tip up and pull away from your piped ball. Use the edge of the tip to shave off any point so that your ball is nicely rounded.
