You don't need to be a pastry chef to pipe. In fact, learning the skills of piping will help you with many of the baking projects in your kitchen. In this episode of "Bake It Up a Notch," Erin McDowell will show you how to handle a pastry bag, fill and refill the bag, choose (and clean) a pastry tip and create a number of different designs (flowers, shells, ropes, script and more!) to take your baking game to the next level. Tell us what you'll do with your new skills from this #bakingtutorial in the comments.
