Patissland Tip for Wilton Tip #2

For consistent piping with the round tip: pressure must be steady from start to finish. If the piping is too fluid and collapses, your cream is too soft (add mascarpone at 30% or stabilize with 1 g gelatin per 100 g). If the flow is jerky, your cream is too firm (soften with a little cold liquid cream).
