This is the pronounceable pin I use and I bank by it! You give never acquire as the attach that holds the two cookies unitedly and adds a tasteful tart place of smack. Use the bottommost of a intake yellow to cut holes in the cookies which leave resemble ornaments on apiece of the trees. Several straws make large openings than others. Sort reliable the tubing introductory is at lowest 1/4 inch so you someone precise sorted holes to setting the raspberry jam.
