The creation of beautiful desserts is a whole art, and for the addicts - the music of the soul. In addition to freshness and delicious taste, a cake or a cake needs a decent decoration. The latter, by the way, can be easily bought in specialized stores. But if the soul requires creativity, you should not use the simplest method. It is better to connect the fantasy and decorate the dessert by yourself. And it will help you with this trivial, but very effective device, a confectionery bag. We should not forget about the nozzles for the confectionery bag.
Nozzles for confectionery bags and their types
Confectionery bag is a cone-shaped device made of paper, silicone or polyethylene, where the cream is placed (most often oil or protein ), which is squeezed out of the bag through a removable nozzle to give a special shape and pattern. The nozzle itself is attached to an adapter with a certain diameter. And there really are a lot of forms and types.
If we talk about the types of nozzles for a confectionery bag, then at first it is worth mentioning the material of the products. Modern manufacturers offer nozzles made of silicone, metal (stainless steel), polycarbonate. Also there are plastic nozzles for a confectionery bag.
The nozzles are implemented in the form of sets, for example, packed in small plastic suitcases-cases, or the same type. The latter, as a rule, the choice of professional confectioners, beginners and amateurs prefer ready-made sets.
As for the patterns of nozzles for a confectionery bag, then you can really get lost. Extensible models with a tapered section of the wedge are designed to create "petals" of flowers, bows or ruffles.
Similar to them tapering nozzles will help you decorate the product with a realistic leaf.
Do you like wavy patterns in the form of stars, flowers or curbs? Pay attention to the tips with deep corrugation - "open star" or "closed star".
Cone-shaped nozzles with notches will make it possible to create flat strips similar to weaving baskets.
Separately it is worth mentioning nozzles for creating special effects, for example, for holidays (in the form of Christmas trees, hearts, snowflakes, etc.).
For fans of time saving, you can offer nozzles with several holes. Coming out of them, the cream forms a lot of small elements, which join together and form a whole piece of the pattern.

Nozzles for confectionery bags - how to use?
In fact, in the application of nozzles for a confectionery bag, there is nothing complicated, you just need to make some effort. So, the algorithm for using a confectionery bag with attachments, silicone or paper, is the same:
- Prepare the cream: sour cream , whipped cream, custard or protein.
- Prepare a syringe and put on it the nozzle that you intend to use. The product is tightly attached to the adapter. It is important that the diameter of the adapter and the nozzle coincide.
- Using a spoon, fill your confectionery syringe with cream. Make sure that the cream is packed tightly, without voids. Otherwise, to create decent patterns not cake or cake will not work.
- For reliability, indicate on the dessert surface an approximate decor plan.
- Decorate from the center. The syringe should be kept at an angle, squeezing the cream with wave-like movements. For the center, a nozzle with an oblique cut is used to create a bud. A wedge-shaped attachment can be decorated with dessert leaves. The edges of the cake are decorated with curbs using a nozzle with a star-shaped cut.
