The trick to writing with a decorating tip, Jon, is that you have to
move your whole arm; you can't use that cone the way you would a pen.
Been a while since I've done it, but I remember (as a right handed
person) holding on to my right wrist with my left hand and I wrote,
helping guide and steady my writing hand. FWIW. You might also want
to thin a bit the icing you're writing with.
