Hi Aunty Lily,
May I ask on the piping, do you swirl from the centre to outside?
It is so pretty and I would like to try it too.
Cheers

How do you pipe the frosting that way? What is the technique?
Thanks for advice in advance?
Think thin thoughts
use a star nozzle. start from the center and swirl around it.
