Fit the piping bag with round decorating tip 12 and fill 1/2 full with medium consistency frosting. Hold the decorating bag at slightly less than 90 degree angle.
Position tip slightly above the surface. Using heavy pressure, begin squeezing at the top of the carrot. Lift tip slightly, letting the frosting fan out generously. Gradually relax pressure to taper shape as you pull back.
When the carrot is the desired length, relax pressure and pull the tip back without lifting it off the surface to pull the end to a point.
