Hello,
Fold back about a third of the top edge of the piping bag before you fill to either below or up to the level of the fold.
Fold back the top third of the bag and twist it to enclose the mixture in the bag.
Keep your hand tight around the twist of the bag and use this hand around the twisted top to push out the mixture through the base of the bag/nozzle (guided by your other hand).
As you pipe, and the bag empties, continue to twist the bag around the top of the mixture.
Hope that all make sense.
Kind regards
Lindsey
thank you I will try doing that
