PlateScapers® Tips

• For designs that require you to drag a tip through, ensure that you use a clean skewer or knife tip and wipe off after each stroke.
• Use continuous pressure when squeezing the bottle to ensure even lines.
• Increase pressure for thicker lines and decrease for thinner.
• If serving a warm dessert, heat dessert first, then scrape.

1. Pool PlateScapers^® Decorating Syrup on a dessert plate.
