Hi, I'm Toba Garrett from the
Institute of Culinary Education
and now we'd like to show you how to do a garland,
which is a side design.
I'm going to position my tip at a 90 degree
angle towards the top edge of the cake.
When you're piping the garland,
you're piping the garland
in a zigzag motion with a little bounce
as you're moving the tip from left to right.
And there you have it, garlands.
