Giant 789 Cake Icer Nozzle

If you find it a little to use a spatula to ice a cake, you can also use tip 789, the cake icer tip, to cover a cake. This method is easier and results in a more even application of icing. When using tip 789, coating is not necessary because the tip won?t agitate . Using a turntable along with the cake icer tip will make it easier to apply icing and to achieve smooth coverage. For best results, use thin consistency icing.

• Prepare a 18-inch decorating bag with tip 789.

  Smooth the sides by holding the spatula against the side of the cake, with a slight angle pointing away from the cake. As you spread your icing, the angle will give the excess buttercream space to accumulate, making it easier to remove. Remove excess icing and place it back in your bowl.
