I was just reading the post about buying decorating supplies and Alicegop made a comment about wrapping the frosting in saran wrap and then putting it into you decorator bag...it's magic! I am VERY curious about this but I have been searching the past articles and can't find it. Can someone give me the link or tell me about this? Thanks!

Thanks! I was wondering the same thing. It sounded like a life saver!

I went searching for that as well and didn't find anything.

Ditto here.

I roll mine up in wax paper. I place a glop of icing on the wax paper and roll it into a cylinder. I put the icing on the paper about 1 inch from one end and twist the other end to close the it and cut off the extra with scissors. I just drop this into the decorating bag and it is business as usual.

Here is a link that helped me understand. This CCer posted pics

Thanks for the great info. I have never heard of this technique. I have 5 cake orders for tomorrow (V-Day) and I can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Just wanted to say it's a great way to save both time and mess. I used it with saran wrap when doing my daughter's wedding cake. I was able to get all the icing colors ready the day before and stacked the "plugs" in a bowl in the fridge. Then on decorating day all I had to do was pull them out and put them in the decorating bags.

That is so cool! Thanks!!

It never fails....I can't go ONE day on this website without learning something new!! Thanks a million!
