Piping bags are typically made from one of three materials: fabric, parchment / baking paper or disposable.

We prefer to use disposable piping bags over fabric ones for hygiene reasons. They provide us with a better grip than parchment piping bags.

We generally only use one piping nozzle for a single cake or cupcake decorating project. But if you are using multiple nozzles, you can use a coupler with these piping bags. This lets you switch between nozzles without emptying the buttercream from the bag first.

If you thoroughly wash and dry these piping bags in hot, soapy water, you can reuse them several times.  They are strong enough to withstand a good few washes.

You can also buy our favourite piping tip – the drop flower cupcake piping tip – to use with your piping bags.

Not limited to buttercream, these bags can also be used for piping chocolate ganache and royal icing on to your cake and biscuit creations.

Do you know the difference between a good looking cupcake and a *great* looking cupcake? It comes down to the type of cupcake piping tip you choose.

This large, drop flower (JEM 1B) piping tip is our absolute favourite at the bakery. It produces beautiful buttercream swirls for the tops of your cupcakes.  Each swirl can easily be crowned with a decoration such as a chocolate button or piece of fruit.

You can use the tip with fabric, parchment or disposable piping bags.

The tip is made from stainless steel and is easy to clean in warm soapy water. It will last and last – we’ve had ours for years.

Why not bake a batch of our gluten-free coffee and walnut cupcakes to road-test your new piping nozzle?
