No metal icing tip? No problem! Tipless bags have taken the cookie world by storm. Let’s learn how to cut them in a variety of ways to achieve different piped icing looks, all WITHOUT metal tips! In this class, you will learn how to cut SIX different icing bag “tips” on tipless bags, some of which are completely unique and have no known metal tip equivalent. We’ll be using the various tip styles to create a beautiful winter poinsettia cookie and holiday stocking cookie. The cookie designs will be adorned with a variety of florals, foliage, pinecones, and a double ruffled ribbon- all made WITHOUT metal icing tips! Video and live instruction will help demonstrate hand/wrist movement and pressure piping, and templates will assist in achieving intricate cuts on the tipless icing bags. We’ll be working with small amounts of stiffer consistency icings and slight, precise details. So be sure to bring your good hand mobility/strength and eyeglasses too! This class is geared toward intermediate/advanced level cookiers who have a solid foundation in royal icing and who are looking to work beyond the boundaries of metal icing tips.
Class topics include:
  • Cutting tipless bags, and using the seam to your favor
  • Hand/wrist movements combined with pressure piping to achieve a specific appearance
  • Royal icing transfers, as standalone designs and pieced together
  • Icing nail use with a “petal” tipless bag
  • Pros/cons of tipless bags vs metal icing tips
