Additional Information
Step 1
Hold bag at 90° angle and touch tip to surface. Squeeze at starting point so that icing sticks to surface.
Step 2
Now, raise the tip slightly and continue to squeeze. The icing will flow out of the tip while you direct it along surface.
Step 3
To end an outline, touch tip back to surface, stop squeezing and pull away.
Step 4
To smooth icing: After outlining and filling in area with icing, pat smooth using finger dipped in cornstarch.

Really easy technique to utilize when frosting cakes. Helps to maintain cake pan details for frosting with stars, etc. Usually after frosting with crumb layer, details can get lost. Also used when doing color flow icing too.
