The biggest one, either 16 or 18 in. You'll have to cut quite a lot off the end of it too to get the tip through, so this bag will end up being just for that tip - hope that helps!

No smaller than 18 for me! I also do not use the featherweight bags for the quick icer tip anymore. They do not hold up as well. I get the stronger bag. My mom uses a 16 because she has small hands. That does make a difference. HTH

I use a 16 because it was the largest I could find...I find that it can hold (with the icing tip in it) enough frosting to completely ice an 8 or 9" cake...double layered. If you're doing something bigger you'll just need to add more icing as you go.
