Piping bags and tips

Pipes frosting swirls and fine icing details.

What it is and why it matters

Piping bags hold frosting or filling and squeeze it out through a tip. They make swirls on cupcakes, fine lines on cookies and neat fillings for deviled eggs. A sturdy zip-top bag with a corner cut off works in a pinch.
