Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try that this weekend.

Thanks soooo much for sharing. I normally use the glass method where I place my bag in a tall glass and fill. Will have to try your way next time.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for bumping this!!! I can't wait to try this tip! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....

I am so excited,I have just started really getting into making cakes(have always enjoyed it but I am doing it more often now). This is something I have been trying to figure out for some time...how to change colors without the horrible mess! I LOVE CC and you all are so talented, I learn something new everyday! Thanks

Thank you so much, I am really going to use it, I am always have trouble filling my bags, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Wow this is a great tip!!! This will help when I do the striping method. Thanks!

I use the Pringles can method but this sounds much easier/cleaner.....I always overfill my bag and it comes out of the top.....thanks for the tip!

I have sooo got to try this!! Thanks for the tip!

great tip!

thanks for sharing..very nice tip!

Very cool I bet it helps you not to have air gaps too! Do you pull the saran through the end of the pastry bag and fold it over with the coupler over it?

I pull the plastic thru the coupler so it fits about 2/3's of the way into tip. Makes clean up a cinch.

Thanks for sharing

This is a grand idea for bagging royal icing. No concern of icing drying out. Thanks for the tip! I shall teach to my class!

YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON! Thanks so much, You have no idea how helpful this will be....well maybe you do (lol)

Thank you so much for sharing, i am doing royal icing collars at the mo and i get in a right mess with the piping bags. Thank you

wow...this is a great tip!! Thanks so much...can't wait to try it!!

Wow! The secret is out! Thank you. I absolutely HATE washing those darn bags.

great idea

Wow!! What a great idea. I am going to have to try this. It will be wonderful for the kids too, they cant make a mess. I always have to tie a rubberband around thieir bags so it dont squeeze out the top, that happens to me sometimes too. It looks like real easy clean-up and I am all for that!! Thanks for sharing and adding the pics, you made it very easy to understand. Happy Decorating!!!

Wow.. I am surprised at how many people have never heard of this. I have been doing it this way for years.. We called them "bullets"; twist and wrap each end, then just cut off the end when ready to use. I particularly like using them with whipped cream. You know how it breaks down with heat from your hand.. keep the bullets in the fridge, and reload your bag as needed, and they are nice and cold. Also, for buttercream, keep a bullet made up of each color you are using for your tote bag to travel with for on site set ups, and repairs.

WOW, probably one of the simplest but BEST tips I have picked up from this site. I always manged to get half of the frosting on my hands instead of in the bag. I can't wait to try this w/ two differen colors!

First time I've heard/seen this...what a great idea, will be trying it next week....

Excellent tips!

Wow!!! Thank You So very Much!! I'm always looking for tips and ideas.

Thanks Again,
Stacy
