How do I pipe chocolate?! I tried doing it this weekend, but as the chocolate touched the decorating tip and coupler, it hardened and wouldn't come out... Do I add anything to the chocolate before piping it?
HELP!!!!
Thanks everyone!!! icon_biggrin.gif

What are you piping? If you are just writing, you can just snip the tip of your icing bag, and not use a tip. This way when it starts to harden, you put it in th microwave for a few seconds.

i do exactly what subaru does... infact i have several bags with different colors that i use, red, white, black.. and when i'm done with them i throw them into a zip lock bag. Then when i need to use them again for piping and small projects i re-pop it in the microwave and use them again.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep that in mind!
But I actually wanted to make borders and rosettes (did I spell that right? LOL). How would I use a tip when piping chocolate!?

Thanks again!! icon_smile.gif

you might have to use chocolate ganache then.. regular chocolate wont set like that.

Maybe you should just use regular chocolate buttercream icing.
