  • Let the orange crust over before you start piping the lines. 
  • I piped a nose before I added the lines for the beard. I’m not sure why I did that and it did mess with the shape of my final nose. I should have made an outline and then flooded it after I added the lines. Or if you keep reading you’ll see another way to make the nose.

  • Use a turkey lacer to smooth it into the green sections.

  • I like this little guy with the white beard and it makes me want to make him a red hat for a cute little Christmas gnome. Or make a blue hat or any color of hat you want. Add a few balloons for a birthday set.
