My cake decorating instructor showed a great method for filling the decorator bag with icing. It’s called a “plastic wrap” method. It’s pretty neat.
Step 1. Take a piece of plastic wrap about 8″-10″ long. With a spatula, take a bit of frosting and place it in the center 1″ away from the edge.
Step 2. Take one side of the plastic wrap and fold it over to the next side matching up the edge – your frosting will now be enclosed on the side of the plastic wrap
Step 3. Roll the plastic from where the frosting is to the edges
Step 4: Twist the free end of the wrap
* (Optional step 5: I tie mine off in a knot)
Step 5 (or 6 if you follow the optional “tie off”): You can now insert the plastic “tube” of icing into the decorating bag.
Just wanted to share. I think it’s a pretty cool way to get the frosting in the bag and it isn’t that messy either. Plus it makes switching frosting in and out so simple – if you’re careful enough you won’t have any transfer colour either.
