If you have a husband like mine, or maybe you are this kind of person yourself icon_wink.gif ....you might use the plastic thingy that slides onto the toothpaste tube that helps squeeze every last teeny, tiny, miniscule, microscopic, (can you tell I'm a fan of this??) speck of dental bliss out of the tube. My question is....has anyone thought of using this to slide onto the end of a piping bag so kids can decorate in relative cleanliness? If you have, does it work?

I haven't used this thingy before. I usually use a garbage bag tie. I can move the tie as the icing goes down. This is what I learned in the WIlton classes I took.

I just saw a post about using a foodsaver to split a bag down the center. I would think you could also use the foodsaver to seal the top of the frosting bag so the kids don't have to worry about making a mess out the end. Of course, then you couldn't refill the bag.

I do the same thing with my toothpaste. Why waste! That is a great suggestion. I swear those clips have a million uses.

I'll have to try this with my son. He needs to decorate a cake for cub scouts later this month.
