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.

There's the Wilton Featherweight Piping Bag which is grease-proof and made from durable and flexible polyester for decorating all types of cakes and pies.

Tips for using your new piping bag

Piping is a technique that's a lot of fun, but can take a while to master. To help you fast-track your skills, check out these helpful piping tips:

  • Don't overfill your piping bag. Try working with half a cup of ingredients at a time.
  • Use tips with wider openings when using thicker ingredients such as potato, batters and dough.
  • If the tip becomes clogged, use a flower nail or toothpick to unblock it.
  • Use a scraper or spatula to push the ingredients against the tip, then twist the rest of the bag so that it's ready for piping.
  • Squeeze the piping bag using one hand and guide the tip with the other hand.

Tipless vs regular piping bags

Tipless icing bags are disposable and closed at the tip so that you need to use scissors to cut off the end and begin piping. You can cut the hole as wide or as narrow as you need. Regular piping bags are more ideal if you are doing intricate decorating as you will have more control using a tip and coupler.

Cleaning and maintaining a piping bag

Most piping bag tips will be dishwasher-safe for convenience. Some reusable piping bags can be dishwasher-safe, while others may need to be washed by hand with warm soapy water.

FAQs:

What size piping bag should I get?
Getting the right size piping bag is important as it means you can continually ice without having to stop and refill your bag with more ingredients. The right size will ultimately depend on what you are decorating.

Generally, a 12-18 inch (approx. 30cm - 45cm) piping bag will be suitable for medium to large cakes or surfaces. If you are doing smaller detail work, a 6 inch (approx. 15cm) piping bag should be sufficient.

What are the best types of piping bags?
There are disposable piping bags that are single-use, versatile and convenient as well as reusable piping bags that are better for heavy use decorating as they are durable and can handle thicker ingredients.

If you're worried about waste, the Loyal Biodegradable Disposable Piping Bag is eco-friendly plus able to hold hot and cold mixes. For serious bakers, the Chef Inox PolyFlex Pastry Bag is reusable and super strong for piping thickened cream, purées, dough and more without splitting.
