Patissland Tip for Wilton Tip #47

To achieve the basket weave effect: first pipe regular vertical strips spaced 1 cm apart, then pipe horizontal strips alternating over and under each vertical strip. The result is cleaner with well-chilled Swiss meringue buttercream. Work in 5 cm sections to avoid melting the cream.
