How to make nozzles for cream with your own hands?

It is impossible to imagine the preparation of confectionery without the final stage: decorating the product with cream. Otherwise, even the most delicious treats will lose to the delicacy, decorated more effectively, but perhaps much less tasty.

A variety of patterns, drawings, compositions from cream is limited only by imagination. For these purposes, there are special pastry accessories: a pastry bag and nozzles for it. You can buy them in a specialized store or online store.

There are situations when such a set for cream decoration is urgently needed, but there is no desire or opportunity to purchase it. In such cases, you can do it yourself. This kit will be disposable. Probably, for the first time during its manufacture, the hostess may not have enough dexterity, and small details will not be cut out quite neatly, but such a construction is quite worthy of replacing a factory product.

For applying a simple pattern, a pastry bag itself can serve. Make it very simple, especially since it takes only a few minutes. A pastry bag can be replaced with a simple food bag.

To decorate a treat, you just need to cut off the corner from the bag and fill the pastry bag with cream. The larger the corner will be cut, the thicker the pattern will be. To get a thin line, you need to cut a very small hole. The confectionery bag from the stationery file will be very durable. Making it is simple:

• cut the file diagonally;
• the resulting triangle should be put on some fabric;
• cover with a sheet of parchment paper from above and gently walk the iron along the edge of the triangle.

When gluing two parts of the file, you get the necessary shape of the bag, which must be filled with cream. Then a small corner should be cut off from the bag, and by pressing on it, you can decorate with sweets cream.

Using a cornet of parchment paper, you can not only make an inscription on the dessert, but also apply fine graceful curls to the surface of the cake. To make a cornet, you need:

• take a small piece of parchment paper;
• cut a triangle out of it;
• roll paper with a cone;
• fasten the edges by folding them inward.

After this, the cornet should be filled with cream, cream or ice. The tip of the cone must be cut off. The item is ready to decorate your favorite dessert.

For more complex jewelry, you will need special homemade nozzles for a pastry bag. Do it yourself with ease. All kinds of caps, bottle caps for water or juice, candle holders, caps for baby bottles can serve as material. For these purposes, even well-washed parts of bottles from nasal drops are suitable. Tin can nozzles are very popular.

The advantage of making nozzles for a pastry bag with your own hands is profitability. Most of the materials needed for this are almost always at hand of every housewife. In addition, the products are, as a rule, disposable, which will save you from a long wash.

Plastic covers are a convenient material for making nozzles for applying cream, but they lose to objects from a tin can, because the options for the cream patterns obtained from them are much smaller than can be obtained from a tin nozzle. In a plastic cover, pierce one or more holes with a well-heated needle. You can use any other clean piercing object. Thanks to the peculiar spout obtained after piercing, the cream is applied to the cake with a neat thin line. This option is more suitable for writing congratulatory words or for applying delicate patterns on confectionery.

The most convenient material for the manufacture of different types of nozzles at home is a can. For work, take:

• tin can from under a soft drink;
• scissors;
• Scotch.

Phased implementation:

• take a tin and scissors cut a 7x7 cm square;
• roll the resulting square in the form of a cone and fix it with tape;
• cut off the tip of the nozzle, taking into account the size of the applied pattern;
• in a plastic bag for storing food, cut a small corner and insert the finished nozzle;
• fix the product with adhesive tape.

Now you can do the decoration of the cake. This nozzle is best used for writing congratulatory words on the cake. It is also suitable for simple patterns that do not require special skill.

For such a product, wide tin covers or a metal candle stand are more suitable. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• make a thin hole with a diameter of 2-3 mm in the center of the lid;
• make small holes around the center circle;
• To get the tulip petals, you need to cut several arcs with a knife for linoleum, the arc should resemble a thin crescent, the sharp corners are directed to the center.

There are even more complicated variations of the tulip model, but they require some skill and accuracy in the carving. In the sophisticated version of the tulip nozzle, the petals are cut out in small zigzags and are not facing the center, but out. This option is called velvet tulip.It is especially important that the cutting tool be very sharp: this will ensure an even and accurate contour of the necessary parts. And from the covers you can cut out all kinds of shapes: stars, crescent, snowflake, heart, semicircle and other figures that are enough for imagination.

For the construction of nozzles required:

• take a cone made of a can and cut off its end diagonally;
• then one side of the cut should be straightened slightly with your hands or with the help of pliers, and the other should be left narrow;
• put the cone on a pastry bag filled with cream, and smoothly squeeze the cream, forming rose petals.
