I am a newbie and haven't had any classes. I was practicing last night with some of my (new) tips and had a problem with leaf tip #67. I used the Wilton buttercream recipe and it was medium consistency, but ALL of the leaves I tried split at the vein and came out in two streams. Any suggestions??? I am having such a hard time with icing consistency, it starts out thick and then as I practice or start to decorate a cake, it turns thin.... What should the consistency be example is thick meant to be the consistency of..say toothpaste??? icon_sad.gif

you may need to take a spatula and open your tip slightly....i've also heard a lot of people use tip 352 exclusively for leaves b/c it behaves better!
