The Shell is the most popular icing technique of all. It's the basis for many borders, fleurs de lis and more. Lift the tip only slightly when piping to avoid a bumpy look.
Characters or designs are often outlined first, then piped in with stars or zigzags. Outlines can also be used for facial features.
