Hi, my name is Melissa Maggiore with Alessi Bakeries in Tampa, Florida. I'm going to be
showing you how to put a small clam shell border on the top tier of your three tier
wedding cake. Using a disposable pastry bag, a coupler and a coupler ring, and a small
star tip, we're actually going to be putting a small clam shell border right here around
the base of the top tier of your wedding cake. Applying a small amount of pressure you're
going to gently squeeze the butter cream out, bringing the butter cream back towards the
cake into a point. But yet you're going to gently want to overlap each clam shell so
that way your seams don't show. What you need to do is use a slow steady motion, making
sure that all of your clam shells are evenly overlapped, making sure all of your points
are overlapped and covered, and making sure everything is level and even and it is continuous
around the base of the top of the tier. My name is Melissa Maggiore with Alessi Bakeries

of your, over the top tier of your three tier wedding cake.
