Keep 90 degree angle. Start squeezing, till you get your desired size. Then release with spinning motion on top. Don’t release and move upward, it will give you peak on dot.
String Work
While drawing line with tip 4, most important to realize is that you squeeze pull should match with your speed of hand drawing line. Too much squeeze and low speed of hand, will give your wider line. Less Squeeze and fast speed of hand may result in breaking line. Icing consistency also matters a lot while doing string work. It should have nice elasticity and should not be too much dry and also shouldn’t be too much runny.
Start doing practice on Dummy Cake. Bring your tips close to the point, where you want to start your string work. Start squeezing and move tip in straight line rather than following the line down ward. Let icing do dropping for you, you control dropping of icing less or more by moving tip little away from surface, once you get desired size then just touch the tip with cake surface and release squeezing. Easy? If your are beginner, you need to do a little practice here 😊
