Learning new things!

Well, this weekend was my first attempt at piping in melted chocolate! After three piping bags and a slightly burnt hand, I figured it out! But.... Probably should have used a bigger tip to write with because what I made was so thin they broke into a bunch of pieces. Oh yea, and melted chocolate works on it's own time schedule, sets quick and can't be rushed, better have more time and a lot more patience next time!
