This is the first video I have found, that is actually showing how to use the piping bag. Everyone else just talk about the tip not the use of the bag. I never knew that you should constantly push down and twist that makes it so much easier. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you! I share things in my videos that I wish I would’ve known starting out.

[@tamiz8895]

I agree, I never could quite figure it out

[@milongamia]

So easy! I’ve always been afraid to use the piping bag, because of not knowing how to use it! Thank you!

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I’m so glad this was helpful for you and that you’re now piping!

[@vickirushing8298]

You are such a great “teacher”. Easy to follow.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Thank you!

[@feliciajosephinejimenez5893]

[@carolynemurray6686]

Becky, Thank You sooo much for your full explanation of how to use a piping bag and the tips. I usually learn most things the best by doing with a teacher ( hands on) but your tutorial was great and you were thorough in explaining. You are a great teacher !!!!🤗

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Thank you so much! I like to teach people the way I would like to learn if I was in their place. I’m so glad it was helpful for you!

[@mezmariahz109]

[@chloehart4412]

I know this is an old video but wow. So informative! Definitely the most helpful I’ve seen. Thank you for going into such depth. Starting is intimidating when other tutorials are so vague. Also thank you for being so considerate in mentioning arthritis. I have EDS which means my joints are very weak and painful. Thank you!!!💖

[@annemariehotaling7269]

Great video!! I was using the can bettercreamans it is always to soft. Is there any way I can make that thicker?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Thank you! Yeah, can buttercream can be a bit too soft for piping. Most regular buttercream you can add a bit more confectioners sugar to make it thicker but can buttercream is already very sweet. Here’s my simple American Buttercream recipe if you want to try that kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZzdmGZ8fNuVra8

[@porscheshumate]

How do you get your icing so smooth?

[@jonaozo540]

Hi, what are the best piping bags you have found to date? I only use them on occasion and don't need 1000's of them, but I don't want something that is junk. Thanks and God bless you. Ozo

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I use these amzn.to/3P8Xird Or Wilton piping bags

[@bahlungnalait934]

I am very warm blooded. The cream melts in my hands when I put my hands on the piping bag. The cream comes out more moisty and creamy as I would want it to be… can you please suggest what I can do or use to make the decorations manageable

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I would use two bags and place one bag in the fridge while piping with the other. When your bag starts to get warm, place it in the fridge and use the cooler one until it gets warm. I would just alternate between the two bags to keep them cool.

[@angelotaranto]

​@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes 😊😊exloo loo

[@staotheduck4853]

I tried making macarons once and failed once I tried piping, I wanna try again, this helps a ton

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

You can do it!

[@8ballpoolplayer134]

I've made alot of mistakes but I should've done some research firsr

[@jenellecallender3202]

How do you keep the big tip from coming out while you are squeezing it

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Make sure that you cut the hole in your bag so that the tip is no more than halfway out of it. If you cut the hole too big the tip will pop out when you squeeze.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I should also mention that not all piping bags are created equal. Cheaper bags tend to be thinner and break more easily and not hold their shape.

[@leonagardiner9577]

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes exactly what I found out recently, although I have been decorating for years..I bought a cheaper version and whoops..tip out so I threw them away. I know you can use those bags without the tips and just cut across end but....

[@morcexd]

thanks for this video i completely suck at piping and ruined my macarons with it I'll def try again

[@Fam24665]

What tip did u use

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

1M tip

[@High_Priest_Jonko]

Cheap plastic bags...my co-worker who's been in the bakery for 30 years still makes his from parchment paper lmao

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Excellent! I’m always running short on time so I usually have a box of piping bags handy 😂

[@kudarakaneh5915]

Try silicon. They are washable and no excessive plastic or trash in the landfills.

[@vickirushing8298]

So did my mom. That has been 50 years ago, though.

[@lifeinaustralia6415]

Thankyou for taking the time to show us how to use a piping bag, but I don't like how unenvironmental using plastic bags is.:(

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

There are reusable bags that are an option.
