After you have constructed your cone, place your tube in it and fill the cone with icing. The next, and most important step, is to apply pressure to the cone so thatthe icing will flow out the tip. You might imagine thatyou can simply take a tube full of icing and give it a squeeze and the icing will simply flow out the properend. You will find on your first few attempts that this is not the case. Before applying pressure to the cone,be sure cone is folded properly to eliminate back-flowof icing.
The next step is very important. Place the cone in yourright hand. Your right hand should be at the very top of the cone as illustrated. The first two fingers of theleft hand are used to guide or steady the cone. Inteaching many students to decorate, we find that thereis a tendency to use the left hand for holding the coneand also quite often the student will tend to squeezewith the left hand. If this procedure is followed, it isimpossible to move the cone in a free easy glide andwould also tend to push the icing out the wrong endof the cone. |
