Took me 4 days to figure out a piping trick everyone says is simple
Honestly, I kept seeing people pipe those perfect rosettes and thought I was just bad at it. Tried for 3 days straight with a Wilton 1M tip and my cream kept splitting or looking like a mess. Turned out my butter was too cold and I needed to whip it longer, nearly 10 minutes past what the recipe said. Has anyone else found that the 'easy' tips in videos skip over basic stuff like that?
The real trick nobody mentions is that piping temps only work if your kitchen is a consistent temperature, and most homes just aren't. I mean, my cream acts totally different in July versus January, so all those perfect video tutorials are basically filmed in a lab.
