Hi there
Have you ever tried just using your coupler without a tip. I do it all the time for cupcakes.

Did you try Country Kitchen Sweetart? Looks like they have them. That's where I got mine.

Oh the Country kitchens site is great, thank you!
When you use the coupler does it have a slit in the side? I can't seem to find them in the craft store without the slit.

I only have one coupler that doesn't have a slit, and for the life of me I don't recall where I got it. All the others are Wilton and they have the slit.

By the looks of the picture they have posted it looks like this one doesn't have the slit, the wilton ones have. You may want to inquire.

I use the ateco tips, they come in giant sizes. I can buy them in my local Smart and Final, not sure if you have that store?

What a super idea to use the couplers. I just put that tip on my wish list and now I can cross it off. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually just put a piece of scotch tape over the slit on the coupler and it works well.

I have to say I have tried this as well. I did end up finding one through Country Kitchen Sweetart.
