Fill another piping bag with icing and use 1M piping tip to make rosette or a swirl and in the bottom pipe a shell around the side. and add the cherry on the top of the swirl/ rosette let is set the the fridge for few hours before serving what I did is I took 1/2 of the white icing before I add the ube flavoring and the food color but that is optional.
