I recently bought the Wilton Master Tip set and it comes with some larger tips and I know I've seen even larger ones at the store. My questions is, how do I use these? They don't fit the couplers. I've looked at the store and I don't see any larger couplers or anything so how am I supposed to use them?

P.S. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm stumped!

I've always just cut the bag to fit the tip. I have seen larger couplers but I never thought to see if they fit with the larger tips.

Wilton does make larger couplers, but you can just put the tip directly in the bag, just cut the hole in the bag large enough. I should add that I use disposable bags...

for the really big tips (i.e. the icer tip) you just put them in a decorating bag (without a coupler) and cut the end off the bag so that the end of the tip sticks out... for mine, I didn't want to cut a featherweight bag that big, so I use a disposable decorating bag, for that purpose only.

I have often wondered what the large couplers fit...I dont think they fit the larger tips....all i have ever done is just drop the tip in the bag with out the coupler....I have just played with them not really put them on cakes...because I am not sure if I am using them the correct way...maybe someone will post instructions for these tips...MC
