I took my very first piping class today and we started with the real basics.
Our instructor was mostly lecturing today - on tips on baking a great cake, on how to make icing, how to ice a cake nicely, and finally, she showed us how to fill the icing bag, put on the tip and pipe a star.
We ended the lesson with us piping on the lemon cookies that my sister and I baked for class.
This is what I ended up making, using only piped stars on medium consistency icing:
Since we were only using white icing, I also added a little bit of sprinkles to add that tiny extra kick!
