12. Fill the bag and decorated the border with the shell technique.
13. To do a shell technique, the tip need to be slightly above the cake; squeeze hard, letting the icing fan out as it lifts the tip. Relax the pressure as you lower the tip until it touches the surface, stop pressure and pull the tip away, don’t lift it off the surface and draw the shell to a point. To continue with the border, start were you end the shell and continue with a chain of shells.

15. To do the garland, get the decorating bag and change the Decorating Tips from #22 to a #18.
16. Hold the bag in a angle of 45 degree to surface, squeeze out icing with a steady pressure, move your hand in a tight side -to- side motion as you curve hand down to the right and up forming a garland. Increase the pressure to make the garlands side at the center, and decreasing pressure to narrow the garlands at the end.
