[@sheryllovestobake9898]

Julia M Usher ty miss Julia for the explaination regarding wax paper

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

Julia, I love your videos. Every year I have a Christmas cookie decorating party and this year I have started a Halloween cookie party. I had a practice run over this weekend and I really could’ve used many of your techniques that I’ve seen in your videos already. I cannot wait to try some of your techniques next week and will definitely be purchasing your book or books!

[@amandacrean8598]

lol - this is a uk euphemism. It doesn't mean "angry"

[@laurenmcintire2045]

By far the most formal and professional KZbin channel out there for bakers! Thanks so much!

[@debkauz]

So glad to see you using parchment and making the bags. I'm insane about recycling and this is SO much better than disposable plastic bags. THANK YOU!!!

[@ceceg2901]

I'm going to attempt to make this for my Mom's Birthday coming up Aug. 28, 2014 she would have turned 78....My sister's and I get together to celebrate Her Life every year on her Birthday. Thank you Julia for sharing your gift with us!!!!

[@debjudisch5548]

Well, Julia, you sure brought back some fond memories for me tonight! I am 65yo now but was raised by a mother who baked cakes out of our home, when we were kids, to help out financially. We always knew never to run in the house in case mother had cakes in the ovens. And we also knew that the huge cake being constructed in the middle of our huge dining table was NOT to be touched!! I remember mother, before a big cake, sitting and folding her parchment pastry bags the night before. That is all she knew, and she seemed to be fine with that! I recently pulled out all of my mother's decorating "stuff" that I was given when she passed. I am going to try, POSSIBLY, some cookie and cupcake decorating for the holidays. I, too, have found that I like the royal icing WAY better than trying to decorate with American buttercream! I am waiting for my new miser to arrive so I can't start anything yet. Have NO idea how this will go! lol! Sorry to carry on, but thank you for a great video...SO helpful and easy to follow! God bless...

[@JuliaMUsher]

Thanks for sharing your memories! I hope your return to decorating is wonderful!

[@anneamaro1497]

I just found you, but I don't want to miss another thing! Even though I will probably not get near as fancy as you, ( I mostly bake for my great grandchildren) I've learned so much already. You make things so easy to understand that if I want to try it , I can. Thanks for sharing your special gift and your genuine passion for doing it!

[@denisezdansky9877]

I just ran across your channel a week ago and absolutely love it. I’m a retired pastry chef, due to injury. You have I sired me

[@denisezdansky9877]

Inspired me to start making cookies again!,,,

[@JuliaMUsher]

Thanks so much, Denise! So glad we found each other!

[@mfr336]

I've never made Christmas cookies, or frosted anything but a cake. I've wanted to do this with my kids for years, but honestly have been too intimidated. I'm so happy I found your channel! You're such a good teacher, and your camera person does a great job. Thank you so much!

[@JuliaMUsher]

Thank you for the very sweet words!

[@CarlosRuiz-tj1dn]

Hello, greetings from San José, Costa Rica. This is one of the most interesting food decorating channels I have found here in KZbin. Thanks a lot for sharing your work with us. Pura vida!

[@Savannah1297]

I decorated cookies for the first time a few days before Christmas, and I could only have a couple different colors of icing prepared at a time because I did not have enough metal tips. Using these cones would have made things a lot easier! I love how thorough this video was and how you went nice and slow. It makes it a lot easier to follow along. Can't wait to watch more of your tutorials!

[@stephaniem6646]

Goodness I'm SO glad I found your channel! You explain things better than anyone I've watched thus far! Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos!

[@lolangbayanlanddownunder1379]

i really really admire all your designs and everything. im not a dessert person but since i watch your videos, i started making them and let my neighbors taste them.

[@wat1910]

I was a little nervous using these my first time, but by stapling the 3 ends together, the cone was stable and I experienced piping success. Thanks for showing us how to construct parchment cones, which are a money-saver and time-saver. Love your videos, tips, designs, and teaching style.

[@lesleywalker7718]

This is the best video on making your own bags that I have ever watched. I now feel much more confident about icing. Thank you

[@bhavna76rasaily]

The icing bag video I've been looking for , forever ! Thanks ❤️

[@JuliaMUsher]

Great, so glad to hear this!

[@kaitlynthompson470]

You are an amazing teacher! My mother-in-law and I love to watch your videos. Thanks for the lessons!

[@gloriarosenbaum3285]

Omg! Your necklace it is absolutely gorgeous! I am in advanced Bead embroidery artist and work with turquoise, lapis, Swarovski crystal. I have fallen in love with making cookies! Putting the two together is a dream come true!

[@georgiecandles4592]

I was taught to bake by my grandmother and she always made her own icing bags from what we call grease proof paper here in the UK. It saves money, adds flexibility and you never have to worry about running out of bags! TY for sharing this, I was very young when I learnt how to do this so a refresher is very welcome :)

[@bobbieparsons1917]

You are The Bomb! I belong to a cake decorating guild and I will definitely be getting all our new, and not so new, members to subscribe to your wonderful site. Thank-you for making things so easy to follow.

[@szumikovski]

Just have to tell you how much I enjoy your videos which are very well done.

[@Annileeze]

My goodness! What a thorough and professional presentation. Your skills and knowledge are vast! Thank you for sharing. Excellent job!

[@candacebirger7797]

Love all of your videos - everything I type to search brings up one of your videos, and you truly are genius. Thanks for posting and teaching!

[@tkeyes211]

I love your work! and I really love how clear and precise you describe everything. today I made and used my first parchment paper for piping and while they are a far cry from your work my cookies are a lot better than they have been. I hope to practice a lot and maybe by April I will be able to do the tiaras and jewelry for my little girls Birthday! either way you are helping a lot!

[@cristinahomrich7382]

Julia Usher, I`m from Brasil and I was completely in love with decorated cookies, but I didn`t had where or who to go to when I had a doubt or questios... Then I find you. Thanks for tutoring me! I love your videos, and I learn a lot everyday whatching them.

[@christinamiller4660]

Thank you so much!! I have been fighting with plastic bags and tips for years and was so frustrated! I've subscribed and will be watching for future videos!

[@JuliaMUsher]

You are so welcome! Thanks for subscribing!

[@o0Avalon0o]

You're videos are so professional, I feel like I'm getting the whole experience! Thank you for lending us your expertise.

[@saryaguirre6484]

I've been looking for this DIY for a long time. Never found one who explained it as good as you. Thank you very much!!

[@dallas_red904]

I was so thrilled to see this video since yesterday I was pricing parchment cones and yes, never before done anything like this so all going to be an old ladies play time. You have wonderful and professional channel here and I am so enjoying everything I have seen so far. TY for such wonderful information and answering questions even before I can think of them.

[@viviangray3312]

So happy I found you - so easy to follow your instructions. You are a very good teacher. Thank you

[@DenisaThompson]

Julia thank you a million for this video! I could not for the life of me figure out how to do this without it ending in a disastrous mess lol. So far you are the only one that actually goes into detail how to make the piping bag and how to use it correctly. So again thank you and God bless! :)

[@theevilcupcake3]

Subscribed with only watching you for 2:28, such a great way to describe piping bags I hate reusable bags (bc of cleaning) and always seem to have sloppy work with plastic bags and I couldn't really understand why bc I was taught to be always use them in culinary school, your explanation was just so spot on. Thank you.

[@danashawareb6498]

Thank you Julia, these tips and tutorials are amazing. You explain everything clearly and make it sound easy and fast, which is exactly what I need! Plastic bags and metal tips drove me crazy last time I decorated my cookies. I'm definitely using your method next time I'm decorating!

[@misterbobbycakes]

Been watching your tutorials for years now and always refer back to them depending on the particular order I get. Thanks so much for your clear step by step guidance on all sorts of subjects. You are a truly a great teacher!😁

[@sharon5132]

I am watching your video to limit the stress of working with royal icing! Your tutorials are great.

[@artisticthoughtsbyelena]

Oh you are so precious. I am just learning how to decorate. I have my perfect cookie recipe, but I have been so frustrated with those bags, etc. The tips. You are right, they are so messy. This is a blessing. I must try. Thank you for sharing your insight. Knowledge, etc. God bless you for that. You do beautiful work.

[@Lorrieonline]

You make this beautiful craft look so easy. Beautiful work!!

[@femke6313]

Julia, where were you all my life? Why did it take me 6 YEARS to find you? Icing goddess and diy queen, what more does one want?

[@JuliaMUsher]

Oh, thank you! So glad you found my channel! Enjoy!

[@MrsKarmenD]

Thank you so much for all your video's, I was a novice just looking for techniques to decorate my sons birthday cake and stumbled across your channel. You've inspired me to do this and take it further than just piping a birthday cake. I so look forward to following your channel and trying out new and fun stuff! Definitly going to get your book. Thank you so much from South Africa!

[@debhazel2046]

Love this video -- I'm such a beginner, this was a huge help! For those struggling with cutting the parchment, I found a quick method to cut a perfect square for 2 right triangles: Take one edge of your parchment roll and fold it over to the other edge, creating a right triangle. Cut along the straight edge created by the fold. You will have a perfect square with a diagonal fold to use as a cutting guide, creating 2 right triangles.

[@SheaSF]

My mother did this with waxed paper. Could remember how. This makes me happy, because I've never been happy with all the piping bags and alternatives.

[@JuliaMUsher]

:) I use Reynolds parchment paper, as I believe it's got a sheer wax coating that keeps it from softening as fast as other parchment paper. The paper also slides easily across itself, making it easier to shape the cones. The tips can get blunt though (the advantage of metal tips is they don't misshape), so I am careful not to touch the tips of the cones.

[@taniadelling4974]

Thank you, Julia, I appreciate your teaching technique and calm manner. I see many things I have been doing wrong and I'm positive your tutorials will help.

[@gustavdesouza335]

Hi Julia, Greetings from South Africa, thank you for the advice with regards to the Parchment Cones, This is a brilliant idea like you say the plastic bag does not always give you the thinnest effect when piping. I really like your idea and will be testing it tonight as I have 45 tea-biscuits (cookies) I have to decorate for Saturday morning. I really appreciate your advice and demonstrations as it makes it so much easier to try and not be scared of trying something new. Appreciated Regards Gus

[@j.h.9191]

These videos are so informative and helpful when learning basics. Thank you so much for doing this so others can learn.

[@stacym4272]

Its been awhile since wilton, and how to fold parchment bags....THANK YOU! this was very well explained, and soooo appreciated. You're one in a million. I love your style

[@noorbanu2661]

I just came across your video and learnt how to make those paper cones. Iam just a bginner and this video will help me a lot. Thank you very much. God bless you. From India.

[@JuliaMUsher]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@TheFireBlazen]

yay! im a no frills type of home cook too! found your video trying to hunt for a simple way to ice cookies with my toddler for the first time and i dont have any piping bags! thanks so much!

[@simplelife2248]

Very Professional and student friendly demonstration. Thanks

[@julierhan]

Wow- what a helpful video. I have only used disposable piping bags before and can't wait to try making gym own parchment bags. Thank you!

[@sstrauss2438]

Just stumbled across your channel and I am already hooked! Thank you for your explanations! They are clear and concise!

[@AdrienneCM10]

I've never heard of a parchment cone or saw anyone use one until a few min ago! I just watched your chocolate lace cake wrap video and wow, amazing! I had to subscribe and find out how you made this cone. The other day I had to pipe chocolate to make strawberries look like little ladybugs. I used a ziplock bag instead of my disposable pastry bag with tip and it was so frustrating. I also used the plastic squeeze bottles which I do not like much. This method seems far better and I can't wait to try! I do love my disposable bags and tips with frosting but this seems like it will be great for control with melted chocolate. I'm excited I found your channel! Great videos!!

[@AdrienneCM10]

***** Thank you! I'm sure I will be successful with practice and all your great tips :-)

[@knoxscoop]

This works perfectly for me. So glad to be (mostly) done with all the tips and bags, which run into quite a bit of expense. I do sometimes store colored icing in twists of plastic wrap so I can just snip off the end of the plastic wrap and pop it into the parchment cone. There's less control for very detailed work but its much faster for kid's cookies and less messy.

[@lanamanuel3407]

Thank you. Suxh an excellent demonstration. I have watched several videos and I find yours to be so thorough.

[@JuliaMUsher]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the high compliment!

[@scdolan5]

[@genebean4230]

Thanks so much for this!! The pointers on how to get straight lines and not drag were amazing! You've saved me a lot of time and annoyance lol cheers again😄

[@JuliaMUsher]

Awesome - so glad the video was helpful to you! Happy decorating!

[@TheLordSheogorath]

Julia, you are amazing! Very useful video and easy to follow!

[@emilyc.8307]

i'm so glad i found this video!! i couldn't find any piping bags in stores since i've moved, so i've been using freezer bags (similar to the ones you get when you buy fruits at the supermarket) for a loooong time. Let's say it's uncomfortable and sometimes even leaks bc of how thin it is! it's nice to finally find an alternative. thank you! c:

[@rncase89]

I accidentally bought parchment paper triangles from Michael's and I was always afraid to try to use them. I am definitely going to try now. This video was so helpful.

[@lindabattisto5368]

I absolutely love your tutorials! I have now watched 2 hours of your videos and ready to tackle cookie decorating! Thank you! You are a genius and so easy to follow! Great directions and easy to follow. :)

[@carolhesch5611]

Thanks for your videos. I love the idea of parchment paper because it is less waste/more biodegradable!

[@JuliaMUsher]

Thanks. Me too! I don't feel guilty throwing it away.

[@twinzmonstermaymay3889]

Thank you so very much for this video. I need dreading cleaning out piping bag. I'm so happy I have not bought any bags yet. I'm going to attempt making royal icing for the first time. Your instructions are every clear and percice. I plans on making 5 bags. One for white then one each for yellow, blue, red and green. I'm going to fiddle around with the tip size to see what happens. I know I'll need 1 bag as skinny as the one you made. That will be perfect for outlining the cookies. Your video has inspired me much! Thank you!!! 🍪🍪🍪

[@cindyvelt4013]

LOVE these. Makes cookie decorating fun again. I thought it was great when I found the tip on putting icing in plastic wrap then putting that into a bag - reuse the bag, hardly any mess - it was all good but there was still messing with the bags, the tips, the couplers and I always made too much of one or two colors and had them about. Also, those darned 00 and 1 tips clogged all the time so I'd pull the tip off and put another on - more to wash and keep track of. I guess I'm just really a lazy baker, ha, but I absolutely love the ease of making them, filling them, using them and tossing them! Thank you so much!

[@izzybugs62]

this is GENIUS..I'm somewhat new to cookie baking & I LOVE your videos..thanks so much for your wonderful tips!! THIS is my favorite one.. I HATE using plastic bags & the disposable plastics are soo expensive. this is genius!

[@daisya9505]

Gosh, that made a complex process clear - thank you so much!

[@JuliaMUsher]

Glad it helped!

[@o0OCheyO0o]

perfect! This will save me a lot of time and money, saw this video just in time, almost orderd a load of dispenceble piping bags and all of the same tips and attachedments.

[@adaamanischannel5564]

thank you fir sharing..Ms.Julia...I found an easy way on how to make my decorations better...I love your simple way..too.."practise make perfect"

[@marigeobrien]

What a good idea! :) Thank you! I'm like you, I don't like buying a lot of stuff. And I HATE pastry bags, too! I've also tried both the squeeze bottle and plastic bags (zip-loc bags are common) with less than stunning success. Actually, they're both troublesome. Squeeze bottles are better for making fancy pancakes. And plastic bags, besides seams, can rupture because there's no way for air to escape. Then you have a mess. Love the all tips about the parchment paper. I am going to try this tomorrow.

[@marigeobrien]

+Julia M Usher Just popped in to quickly tell you how it went. Okay. I tried about 10 times to make these and failed. :( They just wouldn't stay. And you cannot tape them together. Tape doesn't stick to parchment paper. SO... I thought, why not try waxed paper? I did and, while I still couldn't get them to stay, I could tape it and they stayed. I've now tried icing with them and they work well. So, waxed paper makes a good alternative as it is a lot more common than parchment paper. Some stores don't even carry parchment paper anymore. I'll keep trying with the parchment paper but right now the clock's ticking. Christmas eve, you know?

[@marigeobrien]

Let me think. It's been a few days (well, the holidays) so... I just couldn't get them to stay -- and the 3 tips were never on the same side of the cone. It was more like 2 on one side and 1 on the other. I will try it again with the parchment paper. I'm in NJ but have trouble finding it. I saw it recently and snapped it up but it's only one roll.

[@Jaqhnun]

this was a very comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial! Thanks to you, I now have a little stack of parchment cornets for cookie decorating later. The last time I decorated cookies, I used the little disposable plastic bag cones for icing, and the seams on the side broke when I tried to pipe fine lines of thicker icing! Very frustrating. I'm looking forward to parchment-- thank you so much for your video.

[@jewell150]

I adore your videos! You are an excellent instructor and I have learned so many new techniques! I cannot wait to do some Christmas baking with royal icing. 😃

[@beaner2907]

I came across your channel by accident and decided to watch one of your vids. I was hooked! So I have to subscribe so I don't miss anymore. You're so talented. You make everything so easy to understand and I love that you show "this is what happens if..." But I couldn't eat them, they're just too pretty.

[@yasao_art]

I know this video is old, but it worked so, so perfectly. Thank you! ♥

[@JuliaMUsher]

Glad it helped! Yeah, it's an evergreen video - not much should ever change about making parchment cones!

[@tortugamoon2073]

OMG! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This has totally revolutionized how I decorate cookies! I totally agree with you.....the bags with the couplers are suppose to be more helpful but it's just something else to fiddle with and CLEAN.....and the plastic disposables always have that seam so you can never get a nice round hole! These are AWESOME! I can just pipe, you're absolutely right...I have WAY more control and at the end if there's any left over just snip and in the bowl or chuck it! No mess! No fuss! With over 100 cookies I'm making for Christmas to give away as presents this has just made my Christmas a much less frustrating one. If I could hug you right now I would! Have a fantastic Christmas! ;-)

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

I've used all 3: Parchment paper, reusable bags, & tossed plastic baggies - I prefer the disposable bags b/c they give a more precise feel as to how the piping is pulling through and how much is being piped through the tips. Much of this is done before filling the cone/bag but when combine with the warmth of hands, it will change the consistency of icing, albeit, toward the end of my decorating years, it wasn't much of a problem since I have raynaud's syndrome caused by multiple autoimmune diseases, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and a matter of loss of circulation in my hands making them cooler to cold to the touch. My late mom used parchment because it is what she was used to using; however, she wasn't gung-ho against the use of bags be it parchment reusables or toss-out disposables. The Marine Corp sent Mom to culinary school, so in essence, I have the Marine Corp to thank for my having the opportunity to make a bit of money on the side while in college through making decorate cakes incl'g wedding cakes & retirement cakes; in addition, I made countless hundreds if not thousands for my daughters' schools to help bring in funding for new playground equipment and even the first computer labs in 3 different schools they attended. My oldest has taken up the mantle with regards to making cakes on the side, though I do believe she will graduate to helping the PTA now that she's helping to raise her husband's barely teen daughter (she didn't want kids but adores her step-daughter). My youngest is more into baking muffins and hopefully this summer she will get into baking bread with me. Fingers crossed.

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

Thank you. When I was in my 2nd or 3rd year of college, I made a cake for the orientation class' last day. It was a basic sheet cake, but I went all out on the decorating using the college colors. The professor loved it so much she had the photographer come down to take a photo of it (been thru this several times w/daughters' school teachers over the yrs), which brought a few other college officials & professors down to the room. The photo ended up in the school's newspaper. A prof who taught the Wilton style decorating followed the photographer to the class; first thing she asked was where I'd learned how to do that & couldn't believe it was from watching Mom all those years even tho I didn't pick up a decorating bag until I was 18-19yrs old. About a week or so later I caught her during ofc hrs & I'd brought the album (long b4 memory stick albums - heck, some of them were on polaroid & 35mm film) I kept most of the best work I'd done. I asked if she would allow me to audit her more advanced classes & she said no. Confused, I asked why. Her explanation was that I already had great technique & the artistry was near-perfect. She went on to say that she didn't want to 'undo' the way I decorated. It took me several years to really understand why she said what she did. It became very true after my oldest daughter came along then got into decorating cakes using icing bags & tips. I'm left-hand dominant; Mom was right-hand dominant; my daughters are both right-hand dominant but they're both left-brain thinkers (aka able to use both sides of the brain to reason - they were both tested in school; my oldest had a learning disability & my youngest is actually academically gifted). I allowed them both to find their own rhythm once they had the basics down. I did this for many of the same reasons that professor wouldn't let me audit her classes. Thank you for making & uploading your videos. I've followed the links from one to the next, and the next, and the next. I've saved a bunch too b/c I want to go back to them later & have a bookmark of where they're located. :)

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

Btw, I've saved your piping videos w/the cookies as I'd loved to get my youngest to better connect w/icing & I think cookies might be the way to get her there, esp now that I've got my MIL's stand mixer (Kitchenaid). I've burned through countless hand mixers making Wilton Buttercream icing. There always seemed to be something that we needed or needed to have done that was more important than buying a stand mixer. And, we've faced our share of hospitalizations, vehicle accidents, then my husband ending up in the heart hospital's ER & req'g a quad bypass the next morning w/6+mos recovery w/extensive heart problems after - it was just never seemed to be important enough. After the kids got older (our youngest will go from a 3rd yr undergrad to a 4th yr this Friday! can't believe she graduates next spring) it seemed to get a little easier to do more that my husband & I enjoyed doing. It's sort of why I've been working w/yeast-bread making these last several months. I really think she will like decorating cookies.

[@sologory]

I've been watching your videos for an hour now and I learnt a lot..I'll apply the steps and techniques to make some gorgeous coockies. Thank you so much.

[@EnglishwithAlan]

Julia, this is fascinating and you give a lot of hope and encouragement to us beginners. One thing I can't find in your videos is information on how to choose chocolate and where to buy the different kinds of chocolate. I gather that supermarkets are not the place, since I never see much variety there. Perhaps you do have this info in a video, but I'm not finding. Thanks for your assistance.

[@kroxxy123]

[@nandanasuresh5832]

Julia M usher thank u so much for this trick .I was searching for this.... I got it from u ....

[@ChrisPBacon-tt2rl]

This is a fantastic video, Ms. Usher. I like how you slowed things down for the sake of showing how to make the cone. That helped me immensely. I've always used the washable pastry bags or the disposable plastic ones. But as you pointed out, they can be a bit clumsy to use, especially for fine work like piping string work or writing. I was wondering, however, do you do a lot of piping with various tips? If so, do you still prefer a parchment cone, or do you prefer using either a washable/reusable bag or a disposable plastic bag? One of the things I really like about the disposable plastic bags is that they have those sharp creases along their edges. I find that really helps me position the tip in the bag correctly, and also when I want to add a dye for a nice two-tone effect when piping various flower petals. What are your thoughts and preferences for piping work with any of the metal tips? Do you prefer a parchment cone, or a reusable or disposable bag?

[@ChrisPBacon-tt2rl]

Thank you for your reply, Ms. Usher. I appreciate your insight. I tried piping some roses with a buttercream in a parchment cone and a rose tip in the cone, but things did not go well. I think I'll stick with the heavier reusable bags for that kind of work and use the parchment cone for the finer work. Thanks again for your reply and advice.

[@HascoNYC]

You are a very eloquent speaker. Thank you for these videos, and for taking the time to explain your techniques in detail. I have inherited my family's original Czech baking recipes that have been passed through multiple generations. As a baking newbie, I really appreciate these tips!

Thank you for this! I've worked in a kitchen for 20 years but never had the patience to learn folding these. I always asked junior chefs to fold them for me so no one would notice i couldn't do it ;-)

Im throwing a cookie party next month and I’m so happy I found your channel! Thank you ❤️❤️ just got done with your icing video 🙌🏽🫶🏽

Thank you for this video. I wanted you to know that I shared it with some timid beginner decorators and it helped them immensely!

Thank YOU so Much for this great tutorial... The reason I NEEDED to see this is because I'm using a resist on Silk Scarves... and am making my own Flour Past with Glue so I don't have to use Hot Wax on my Silk... Making the lines on the silk fabric just like you do on your cookies. (Hope this makes sense)... I thought of you right away... ;) I agree, I could use a plastic bag, but it is not sturdy enough... You have saved the day... ;)

Hi Julia, love your tutorials, you are very talented. I would like to know if is possible for you to make a tutorial showing how to make a callalily of royal icing. I saw one of your cookies on pinterest with this flower, and i think it is the most beautiful cookie decorated i ever saw. Very delicate and elegante. Thank you!
