Zigzag Frosting Decoration

Zigzags are a fun and relatively simple way to add visual interest to frosted treats. While the look might appear complex, the technique is easy to master.

  • How to Create Zigzags:
    1. Select a piping tip. While star tips are traditional, you can use any tip you like for a unique effect.
    2. Hold the piping bag at a slight angle to the surface of your treat.
    3. Move the piping bag from side to side, creating small, consistent waves.
    4. Pipe another row of waves, overlapping slightly with the first row.
    5. Continue this pattern, alternating overlapping waves above and below, to create the zigzag effect.
