How To Put A Decorative Tip Into A Bag Correctly?

This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to attach a cake decorating tip to a bag, also known as a piping bag or piping nozzle. The tutorial is designed for beginners and offers detailed instructions on how to use a piping bag for decorating and filling.

For those using a bag with just one tip or larger tips like 1M, 2D, or Tip 789, the bag can be prepared without a coupler. If you don’t plan on changing tips, you don’t need to use a coupler. Simply drop your tip into the bag and use scissors or a pen to mark a line about 1/2 way up the tip. Cut the bag at the line.

In this lesson of Cake Decorating Basics, you will learn how to use a Cake Decorating bag (also known as Piping bag), Piping Tip/Piping Nozzle and Coupler (Regular and large for Russian). To insert the tip, slip the tip into the bag and place it snugly in the bottom of the bag. If using a couple set, insert the “inside” plastic piece into the bag first. Secure the piping tip on the outside.

Using a piping bag for decorating and filling is one of the most fundamental skills in cake and dessert decorating. First, prepare the materials needed for piping, including pastry bags, coupler base and ring, scissors, and preferred decorating or icing tips.

Assemble the piping bag by separating the coupler, placing the larger of the two coupler pieces into the tip of the bag, fitting the piping tip overtop of the plastic, and sliding the smaller tip into the bag. If using a coupler and icing tips, simply unscrew the coupler collar, put on a new nozzle, and pipe.
