1. - Hold the decorating bag at a 90° angle (straight up) with star tip about 1/8 to ¼ in. (3.18 – 6.35 cm) above surface. Squeeze the bag to form a star. Stop pressure and pull tip straight up and away.
2. - Pipe a row of stars uniformly close together in a line, adjusting the tip position slightly each time so that the points of the stars interlock and eliminate gaps.
3. - Continue piping additional rows, adjusting the tip position so that the stars are piped between the stars of the previous row to fill in the cake surface without any gaps.
