I bought a few Wilton featherweight bags and used them once or twice and the side would blow out. I usually use disposable bags but thought I would try the featherweights to save some money. The frosting was medium consistancy and they were not very full--about half. What is the deal? Anyone else have that problem? I am debating contacting Wilton....
They were 9 inch bags...
I had one blow out on the last cake I made but I had it for about 8 or 9 years so I wasn't surprised, it was a 12" bag. I haven't bought any Wilton bags recently so I don't know if the quality has gone down or not. I guess I'm not much help am I?
I have many of them and have never experienced that. I didn't know that they even had 9" bags, I have 8", 10" and 12" ones. If they blew out - I would get ahold of Wilton - I am sure they would make it right.
I use them all the time. Some I have had over 2 years and never had a problem. You must have gotton a bad batch - I would call Wilton I bet they replace them.
I didn't know wilton makes 9 inch bags.... definatly call them, and maybe try a larger bag? I don't bother using anything smaller than a 12" personally.
ateco bags are good...i have no problems with them. i have always heard that wilton bags are not that good. i have had the ateco ones for quite some time with no problems.
Call Wilton, if they are new bags and they are defective they should replace them. Wilton has good customer service.
Did you get them from Walmart? I have noticed that the Wilton bags from there are different then the ones from like Michaels or Joann craft stores.
But havent had any blow out. I agree call Wilton Im sure they will replace them.
I have had the same problem with the Wilton bags. In fact, I just did a thread earlier on them. I bought mine at Walmart and Joann's. I thought I was filling or using them wrong.
I used to have this problem quite often. My problem was that I would use too thick of an icing consistency with too small of a tip. If you're really sick of paying lots for these bags, a friend of mine switched to using ziplock bags and cutting off the corners. I tried it but it didn't work well for me.
Sorry it should have been 8 inch size. I bought them at Wal-mart. We don't have much for shopping in the area and the only brand of cake decorating items around are Wilton. A lady used to carry Ateco, but switched to Wilton so I will look online for them. I have a 16 inch bag that has not blown yet, so I am crossing my fingers.
It just seemed to me that the ones from Walmart are stiffer and if your icing is too thick you can blow them out but I use them from there but I do like the ones from Joanns better it seems they are easier to work with.
I've haven't had a blowout yet, "knock on wood" - but I do have 2 of wilton's featherweight bags that I use as well as the disposable ones (wilton's 12") which I usually reuse once, but once I got my "sample" bags from Kee-Seal, which I love! - I usually reuse them until the bag is not feeling "thick" anymore. I love those bags!
Susancakebabies - I think the website is www.keeseal.com ?
Some of my Wilton bags split too, after not much use. I like the Ateco bags, much sturdier! There's a little cake supply store in my neighborhood, that's where I get them. I'm sure you can order online too. Try ebay!
