The one tip that I will explain is how to fill your pastry bag with frosting. Follow the directions that come with the mold on how to put your coupler and tip onto the bag first. Now, get your black (frosting) tootsie and snip off one end of the excess plastic that you had wrapped and tucked down. The cut side will go into the pastry bag first, leaving the twisted and tucked plastic end near the mouth of the bag. Gather the mouth of the pastry bag closed with your hand. Just push the frosting down towards the coupler and tip. Repeat the process with your yellow (frosting) tootsie roll. The black tootsie will be matched with your #3 tip and your yellow tootsie will be matched with your #16 tip. When you run out of yellow simply open the bag and pull out the plastic wrap and toss. Cut the end of your second yellow tootsie and insert the cut end into the bag and repeat the process.
Please feel free to ask me any questions now or in the future about this last process. I do feel bad that I wasn't able to post my videos on the blog for visual reference. I'll make a quick blog just to show the final product.

Hey I was wondering is the frosting a little bit runny? Or is it clay like texture? I normally don't see frosting wrapped like a tootsie. I really need a great frosting recipe..
Frosting is more like peanut butter. The frosting recipe only works with the emulsions that I get at the cake supply store. It doesn't work with regular vanilla extract. Wrapping your frosting into a tootsie makes filling up your pastry bag so clean and easy. I plan on checking out the food network for a frosting recipe. If I find a good one, I'll let you know.
