Star grommet set, 12 pieces

Star grommet set, 12 pieces

The 12-piece stainless steel star tip set is the ideal way to start and expand your decorating equipment. The different sizes cover all common decorations, from fine details to lavish cupcake toppings. Their main areas of application are cupcake and muffin toppings in various sizes, cake borders, rosettes, shortbread, meringue, patisserie decorations and decorations on tartelettes and petit fours. The variety of sizes means that the decoration can always be selected to match the size of the pastry. The nozzle can be inserted directly into the disposable piping bag by shortening the tip to the appropriate size. A nozzle adapter is recommended for more flexibility: Place the inner part in the bag, attach the nozzle and secure with the outer ring. This allows you to change the nozzle during the piping process without having to empty the bag. To prevent leakage at the nozzle, turn the bag in briefly behind it and stuff the twist point into the opening. With the top edge folded down, place the bag in a holder or tall cup, the mixture can then be poured in cleanly. A few simple steps make the difference between shaky and professional. Buttercream should be at room temperature and stirred until smooth, too cold it is tough, too warm it becomes runny. Cream should be chilled and not whipped too stiffly, otherwise it will break when pressed. Only fill the bag halfway so that it can be guided safely. The technique varies depending on the desired motif. Dots are created with a vertical nozzle and short, targeted pressure. For a cupcake topping, spiral from the outer edge inwards in a circle or from bottom to top. For cake edges, hold the nozzle at a slight angle and make dots that overlap, releasing briefly between each dot. For the set, we recommend investing in one or two nozzle adapters so that the nozzles can be changed during the piping process. It is best to keep the nozzles in their original packaging or in a flat box so that the prongs are not deformed. Immediately after piping, place the nozzle under hot water to prevent dried residue in the prongs. The best way to reach the inner edges is to use a conical nozzle brush. The stainless steel is rustproof and completely dishwasher-safe. A conical grommet brush makes cleaning all sizes much easier.
