Every mistress at least once comes to the decision to make a cake. Home-made cakes are radically different from those sold in stores, because they are not so bright and elegant, but have the same home charm. However, nothing prevents to take in hand confectionery syringe and decorate your culinary creation with roses and leaves, large lilies or, for example, magnolias.
How to use the nozzles for the confectionery bag?
First let's look in more detail the existing types of sets of confectionery tips, or rather their contents:
- The easiest way to work with round nozzles. This is a convenient solution for inscriptions, the formation of cookies and brewed tubules. There are both very thin, and wider.
- The carving nozzle is good for removing small roses, excellent with it are woven baskets. Most often, this small-sized nozzle is used to decorate cakes, and larger sizes are useful in the formation of marshmallows and brews.
- Nozzles for the leaves will be useful when decorating the edges of cakes with green cream. In order to form a flower in one motion, the chrysanthemum nozzle is suitable.
- There is a form in the set of confectionery nozzles directly for removing roses on the cake. A more curved shape has a magnolia nozzle.
This is just the main arsenal of confectioners, which you can use at home. Next, you can go on to the question of how to use nozzles for a confectionery bag. Everything is much simpler than it might seem. The most important thing is to learn how to feel the density of the cream and turn the bag in the right direction in time. So, how to handle confectionery nozzles and get the right patterns:
- draw a drawing with your left hand, push on the bag - right, because it's more important to learn not so much to drive the nozzle as to correctly and uniformly press on it;
- when you have finished drawing a drawing, you need to make a movement from yourself along the product: this will allow you to gently place the cream with a small tongue on the pattern, almost imperceptible;
- so that instead of a characteristic cone after the end of work there is only a completely unnoticed ball, you need to drop the nozzle sharply and then remove it;
- The warm cream looks much brighter and has a gloss, but when it is cooled, the pattern is more clear and embossed.
What can you draw with confectionery nozzles?
Now that we have already got acquainted with the main nozzles and work, we can consider possible patterns. For beautiful points on the cake you will need a round nozzle, when working it should be held vertically. In the same way I form asterisks, choosing the appropriate attachment.
Effective sockets we get with the same nozzle in the form of an asterisk. For this we also hold the bag upright, but the movements will be circular. At the end, raise the bag and make a small turn. If you hold the "asterisk" with wavy movements, you will get a wavy chain - an ideal solution for edging cakes. By the way, in the issue of the set of attachments for the confectionery bag is not in the last place and the bag itself. If you want to purchase a truly durable kit, look for a bag with an external fixation of the nozzles. It saves time perfectly, the cream itself makes the work pleasant.
Pay attention also to the material of the bag. When pressing, the cream or other contents should not flow through the seam or the tissue itself. It is desirable to find a bag of sufficient size, so that it does not have to be filled with dessert spoons. Large confectionery nozzles should be used for chilled cream, the room should also be cool enough that your pattern does not spread. Finally, confectionery nozzles should be made not only from safe material, but also durable.
