Ingredients

  • soft icing

Method

Use a star piping nozzle, either a PME 13 or a PME 8.

Fill you piping bag with your chosen icing, then, holding your bag upright, squeeze until you have the sized star you would like, then let the pressure go and lift the bag away.

Piping in the side of a cake uses the same technique, but at a 90 degree angle.

Make sure your pressure is even so you get stars of the same size.
