How do you get it to do a star shape?

A friend of a friend once claimed to use one, but I think it's just an
urban legend...

I have a plastic siringe made for that purpose, with a set of 4 or 5
different end-tips: star shaped hole and round shaped hole, in various
sizes. I never used it for decorative purposes, but just to inject custard
into cannellini (like the cilinders in this composition):

I don't think the plastic will be sturdy enough to pipe a star
shape. Can't you buy a star tip and use that in a plastic bag?

Yes, and I have. :-) The nice thing about a ziplock is that it is
disposable so you only have to clean that plastic tip.

Getting a star tip by itself may be problematical--they usually come in
sets. For 10 bucks you can get a set with several tips and a bag that
fits them. For more you can get fancier sets with a wide range of tips.

Wouldn't work, but you can drop a star tip in and that will work.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Of course, I remember seeing those since you mention it.
Depending how fancy the occasion is, it might be worth it, but
I don't know what they go for. I love those fancy topped crackers.

shoot, er, shucks, from the subject line i thought this might be a
nostalgia item concerning 1970's barrooms:

Kamikaze Shooter

1 ounce Vodka
1 ounce Triple Sec
1 ounce Lime Juice

Shake with ice, strain into shot glasses and serve.

Yah gotta love this group. I've seen a zillion tips at yard sales and
thought I didn't want to put up with the mess of a bag. Very interesting.
