Using A Bag Tube For Decoration?

Decorating with a bag and tip is a fundamental skill in cake and dessert decorating. It involves using piping bags, pastry bags, or piping tips to pipe semi-solid foods through a narrow opening at one end for various purposes, including cake decoration. The “plastic wrap” method is an easy technique to master, as it involves taking a piece of plastic wrap about 8-10 inches long and using any round decorating tip to squeeze the bag to form a dot.

A decorating bag is used to pipe buttercream frosting, pastry cream, and other fillings by pressing them through a narrow opening at one end. To use a couple set, insert the “inside” plastic piece into the bag first and secure the piping tip on the outside of the bag with the plastic ring. This step-by-step tutorial on how to use piping bags with tips and couplers for piping buttercream frosting, pastry cream, and other fillings is provided.

For couplers, place the tip over the exposed end of the coupler base and screw the ring over the tip and base to secure them in place. For decorating bags, pastry bags, or piping tips, follow these steps:
