I never use the icing tip although I am sure I would love it if I did. I want to give it a try but I can't for the life of me remember how. What do I use for a bag, coupler etc. Maybe this is a dumb question. I just haven't used it in years and even then I only used it once. Also, what are your opinions on how well it works?
Thanks.

big bag--16" or 18"
no coupler
just cut end of bag so when slip tip in, the tip sticks out just enough for the side w/ teeth to be fully out plus about a 1/4"

load up and then keeping tip close to cake so that your are pushing the icing onto the sides of the cake..ice away.

Sounds simple enough but where do I get a bag that big?

ac moore, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, a local cake store and nearly any cake supply store on the internet.

of course, for AC Moore and Hobbly Lobby, be sure to have 40% or even 50% coupon they have w/ you.

Thank you Doug. You are definitely a huge help to a lot of people here. If I think of anything else I need help with now I know who to call on. Thanks for the coupon tip too!
