Frosting Tips

• Decorate cookies like a pro with decorating tips and pastry or resealable plastic bags. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and insert a decorating tip. Reinforce the seal between the bag and tip with tape.For very simple decorations or outlining, just cut the corner off a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag.
• To fill a pastry or resealable plastic bag with frosting, insert a decorating tip if desired and place the bag in a measuring cup. Roll down top edge to make a cuff. Fill about half full with frosting. Roll up cuff.Smooth filling down toward tip to remove air bubbles, which will cause breaks in the design when piping. Twist top of bag shut.
