# Expert Advice:

02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold, the filling will be lumpy no matter how hard you mash, so let it soften completely.
  • Overfilling the piping bag makes a mess, fill it only halfway and refill as needed.
  • Older eggs really do peel better, so plan ahead and buy them a week before you need them.
03 -
  • Use a star tip on your piping bag for a bakery perfect swirl that impresses everyone.
  • Add the vinegar last and taste as you go, it can quickly overpower the filling if youre not careful.
  • If you dont have a piping bag, a zip top bag with the corner snipped off works just as well.
