instructions

Step 1

Fit the decorating bag with tip 2 and fill ½ full with thin consistency icing. Holding decorating bag at a 45° angle, lightly touch tip to surface and squeeze steadily.

Step 2

Glide tip along surface. Remember to keep your wrist straight, moving your entire forearm as a single unit.

Step 3

Stop squeezing, pull tip away. After you begin to master the curves and swings of the letters, lift the tip up slightly as you write. You'll find you have more control if you let the icing drop to the surface as you write
