Piping Bags, Tips and Nozzles

Range of piping bags available

A piping bag is a handy kitchen tool that is used to squeeze fondant, buttercream, dough, purées and more onto cakes, cupcakes, pies and other foods. It's essentially a bag shaped like a cone with a nozzle on the end for the ingredient to pass easily through when squeezed by hand. There are 2 different types of piping bags:

• Disposable piping bag. These bags are typically made out of food-grade plastic and are made to be thrown out after each use. They are hygienic, easy to use and convenient.

• Reusable piping bag. These bags are usually made from canvas with a plastic inner lining and can be cleaned and reused again and again. They are excellent for heavy duty use and are durable, heat-resistant and biodegradable.

Sizes, styles and materials available

Piping bags come in many different styles and sizes for piping icing onto large cakes to adding fine detailing onto petite cupcakes. We have Loyal 10pk Disposable Piping Bags measuring 30cm and made from food-grade polythene for all of your cake piping needs.
