Characters or designs are often outlined first, then piped in with stars or zigzags. Outlines can also be used for facial features.
One of the most popular techniques, stars come in a range of sizes and styles. Experiment with open and closed stars for variation in look. The star technique is timeless and can be used as a classic border or as a stunning fill-in for the top of a dessert.
