exactly what they all say!.!.picture a nail with a really big flat head on it,turn this while you pipe your icing!.!.the trick is using the proper piping tip,it should look like a long narrow teardrop on the open end,there are differant sizes!.!.used mostly for roses!.!.tilt your nail a bit,squeeze,with your piping hand with the widest part of the tip at the bottom,turn till you get a little centre piece,then simply start making layers over that,like petals of a rose!.voila!
