I love playing around in the kitchen and discovering things. The other day I wanted to make two-toned flowers but didn't want to use the method of putting a food coloring stripe inside the bag because sometimes the stripe comes out looking streaky or incomplete in the flower and I want them to look perfect, as if the stipe is actually part of the flower just like they look in our flower gardens. So, I saw my foodsaver sitting on the counter and had an idea to turn one piping bag into two piping bags yet still be one bag. The results are in the pictures below and I am working on a Tutorial to show you exactly how to do this fun and easy technique. I'll have it up on CC this morning or early afternoon. 
What do you think about it? |

I don't have a food saver but I tried this with plastic wrap. Would love to see your tutorial, then maybe I'll get a food saver. I don't mind the striping the bag method but the stripe is usually different on each petal. |

Well, I can't find the link on how to create a new Tutorial so am waiting for Jackie or Heath to lead me the way.
In the meantime I am going to go ahead and show you a couple more photos of my technique. When I get the tutorial done I'll take these pictures out of this post so they won't be taking up to much storage space.
I first sealed a disposable icing bag right down the middle. I then filled one side with pink and the other with yellow. If you notice in the picture I cut the tip smaller for the pink because I wanted the pink to be the thin stripe. Then I placed my dual icing filled bag into another bag and started making my flowers and circles and lines and everything else I could make! It was fast fun and easy!
For some reason I am only able to put two photos in this post so will submit this one and continue in another one with the third photo showing the dual icing bag placed inside a tip and coupler fitted icing bag. |

Do you have a link to the page the bags are located on? I can't find them anywhere. I have never seen them before. |

What a cool idea! Another one to file under the "now, why didn't I think of that?" category.
Thanks for sharing your idea.

My Food Saver is getting quite the workout now that I have discovered what I can do with disposable icing bags! Plus I am making my own custom sized icing bags out of my food saver rolls of bags too! Try it out and you will see.
With the food saver you can make one side of your bag smaller than the other if you are wanting a lot of one color and just a little of another. Plus, the bags are washable and reusable so no wast there. If a seam comes apart........simply seal it back together with your food saver! |

Here is what I am doing with my bags of Buttercream and Royal Icing. As soon as I load the bags up with icing I seal them with my Food Saver. This keeps the icing air tight and there is NO MESS with icing coming out of the top of your bag, ever. To seal it completely I use a small piece of saran wrap rubber banded over the tip. Before using the icing again it is easy to knead the icing right in the bag and never worry about it squishing out the top of the bag. The saran wrapped tip keeps the icing from coming out at that end. |
