How To Put A Piping Tip On A Bag

Fortunately cleaning your piping bags and tips isnt as difficult as you may think.

How to put a piping tip on a bag. Cut the tip of the bag so that when you drop the tip inside the bag a small portion of it protrudes through the opening. Now push the bottom part of the coupler through the bag which should still cover the screw threads of the coupler and screw the upper part against the bottom part. Put the bag inside a tall cup and fold the edges over the cup.

Place the coupler ring over the decorating piping or pastry tip. You should be able to push a small part of the coupler out of the opening of the decorating bag. There can be many attractive designs that you can make with piping bag with a round shaped tip.

Push it in tightly. Depending on purpose and consistency of the filling choose the adequate tip and insert it into the top part of the coupler. If youll be switching back and forth between piping tips try using a coupler.

This way you know where to cut later. Once the base is in place put the tip on. Draw a small horizontal line on the outside of the pastry bag just above the opening of the piping tip inside the bag.

Push the coupler right into the tip of the bag and smoosh the frosting down behind it to remove the air before snipping the plastic end off the bag. Feed this unknotted end of the wrapped icing pod or bullet through the icing bag and coupler. The two-piece coupler allows you to switch tips without getting a new bag.

With a spoon or a spatula fill the bag with icing. Slip the tip into the bag and place it snugly in the bottom of the bag. Now comes the trickiest part.
