Why I Use Tipless Bags

[@AtYourOwnWisk]

do you possibly have a link to the bags you use?

[@LittleCookieCo]

These are the ones I've been using lately, linked below. If you're in the US, I've heard great things about Borderlands Bakery bags as well as TMP bags and Master Bags from Amazon www.amazon.ca/Thickened-100pcs-Disposable-Cupcake-Decorating/dp/B073JC881S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tipless+bags&qid=1607751697&sr=8-1 scoop-n-save.com/tipless-medium-disposable-piping-bags-100-pk/

I use a heat sealer to seal my bags and if I have left over icing, I heat seal the other end and place all my left over bags into a gallon size ziploc. 😉

Thank you dear for sharing such valuable tips !!! 👏👏👏👏❤️😍

[@IntuitivDesigns0]

Thanks for the video. I've been using a lot of your videos lately to learn more about decorating with royal icing and they are very helpful. The only concern I have about this technique is all of the waste with the plastic bags. I would totally be down with this technique if there was a way to save and mark each bag. Single-use plastics are literally killing our planet, so I will have to stick with reusable piping bags qnd tips for now.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes, I do agree, it really sucks that there is not biodegradable options right now (that I know of). Just make sure you wash your reusable bags really well as sometimes the greases stays in them especially if you use it for buttercream as well.

[@romyv6532]

Best comment. Thank you. I'd rather put up with the small inconvenience of washing bags and perhaps not having as much control when piping icing, than adding to the plastic problem that's hurting our Earth.

[@daniquenaude176]

Great tutorial! Thank u!

[@elove701]

This was so informative. Hie large of a hole do you cut for just flooding cookies?? I think I may be using a hole size that I too small

[@LittleCookieCo]

If you find yourself squeezing the bag so hard that your hand is shaking, it is definitely too small! I always adjust the hole too as I go, if I find its coming out too slow or not enough, then I'll cut slightly bigger. You want it to flow without too much pressure but still want to maintain control of how much is coming out if that makes sense.

@@LittleCookieCo you’re not wrong? I can’t believe how quickly I hammered out so many minis yesterday. Tippless bags plus the one bowl method has revolutionize my cookie decorating and saved me so many hours. I’m never going back. Ssshhhh don’t tell the all the Wilton tips in my drawer.

[@LittleCookieCo]

🤣🤣 your secret is safe with me!!!

[@slimsadie135]

Is this why I’m struggling with getting my lines to go straight? Because I’m using the Wilton bags as a tipless bag????

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!! The thick seam pulls the icing in that direction and so it doesn't let you pipe a straight line (and always curls)! Buy some tipless bags and you'll notice the difference right away!

[@laurielindahl1402]

I'm curious to know if you have ever tried the interchangeable tip squeeze bottles?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I have never tried the squeeze bottles, I know some people that do use them and love them! I personally feel more comfortable holding a piping bag, but it really depends what you prefer.

I really love your video, it’s so clear and helpful, I can’t help but click the subscribe button😆 I always have flat icing when I pipe, do u have any tips on how to cut the tip of the bag?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much. Are you using bags that are quite thick? Or have a thick seam, sometimes that is the reason that it comes out flat. You can try cutting with the seam in the middle, make sure you are using really sharp scissors and cut a small hole, and then squish the bag flat the opposite way, and cut a tiny tiny bit off to make it a bit more even. Hopefully that helps!

[@sarachan6318]

@@LittleCookieCo thanks for your reply, I’m using the thin one, maybe my scissors is not sharp enough, ok I’ll try to do as u said😊 and see if it comes out better🙏🏻

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes, make sure you have nice sharp scissors so your cut is smoothe. Also, squish your bag flat. If it's not flat, cut a tiny tiny hole and let the air out then make your actual cut! Hope that helps!

In regards to your Royal Icing recipe, what if I don't have the butter emulsion extract you use? Would I just double the Vanilla?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I would keep the vanila the same, butter adds another dimension to it but if you double the vanilla it may be too strong! Before I discovered the butter flavor I would make it with vanilla only and it was still really good!

[@laurielindahl1402]

@@LittleCookieCo ​ I also noticed that Lorann Oils also had a "Butter/Vanilla Bakery Emulsion combination. Do you think that could be used instead of the individual vanilla & butter extracts? If so, would it be 2 Tbsp or just 1 Tbsp? I love you're videos and you are teaching me so much!

[@laurielindahl1402]

@@LittleCookieCo I understand now why you add the butter extract. I made a basic recipe (not yours), and it taste like powder sugar and I think is gross! I will wait until I get some butter extract!!!

[@LittleCookieCo]

I have tried this one before the butter/vanilla but I didn't like it as much as the plain butter one!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!! And I have found vanilla and butter is the most basic flavour to take away that taste without making it too different that people wouldn't like it. I know some add lemon or almond as well but I find those may not be liked by all so I find this a good combo that pleases almost everyone!

[@elizabethjay660]

Hey i ordered the thickened bags you suggested and all of them seem to have a bit evtra plastic at the tip that the causes curling and somrtimes a straight edge to the icing. They are driving me insane lol! Any others you like? X

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yeah I've had a few batches of those too. I feel like with every brand you get that every so often. I sometimes cut the excess plastic if I can or cut a slightly bigger hole. I have heard that the store How Sweet is That sells the Master bags and she inspects the seams . You can get them in Amazon too (they have red writing on them) and are much thinner, so if you put a lot of pressure on them they can burst. I've also heard TMP small bags are good for wiring and details but haven't tried them yet.

[@elizabethjay660]

Thank you! I am forever changing bags! I try to cut it off and sometimes it works but sometimes it cuts too far! Will try these others bt for detailing will need the stronger bags so hopefully i can find some. Are there any metal tips you have tried and liked? I honestly don't like them but I may try this aswell!

[@LittleCookieCo]

I've heard the best are PME, I did buy a few when I first started, they are great cause they don't have seems liek the Wilton ones. I stopped using them cause they're a pain to wash but they do help. The other thing is when my icing is curling with a tipless bag I'll put the side its curling on toward my cookie so it curls towards it and I'll attach it and then pull to straighten it out. When I'm doing turns or curves then ill stay really close to the cookie and put a bit extra pressure so it almost doesn't have time to curl, if that makes sense

[@LikeRyugaChannel]

Nice sharing 👍

[@Lizzysunicorn.crafts]

Where do u buy your piping bags

[@LittleCookieCo]

I've been using ones from The Cake Mama as well as these ones www.amazon.ca/Thickened-100pcs-Disposable-Cupcake-Decorating/dp/B073JC881S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tipless+bags&qid=1613936720&sr=8-1

[@The_QueenVee]

I use Wilton bags and when I cut my bag the icing comes out flat and not round and also curls is that because of the type of plastic?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes exacrlt. Wilton bags are great if you are using metal piping tips, but not for tipless bags. The seam is really thick so then it makes the icing curl when it comes out. The thinner bags have a much thinner seam so its not as stiff as the wilton bags

You're so welcome!! ❤❤

[@curlthusiast]

Hi, what could be the reason if the piping is not coming out of the bag when cutting a tiny hole? Tried it with outline and flood consistencies still no luck

[@LittleCookieCo]

It could be that your icing is too thick for the size hole. Or that your hole just isn't big enough. If its not coming out then keep cutting slightly bigger until it does without you squeezing the bag really hard. Another thing may be that your tip is clogged if your icing has dried in the tip.

[@tee96]

Why does it curl sometimes?

[@LittleCookieCo]

There could be a few reasons: 1- make sure to use really sharp scissors, if your cut is not clean that makes it curl 2- you didn't cut with the seam in the middle when you flatten the tip. If you have the seam to the side when you cut it doesn't cut straight 3- your icing is too thick for the hole size (try cutting it a bit bigger) 4- the hole is cut too small in general, try cutting a touch bigger 5- the tipless bags have a thicker seam, this makes it curl (for example the wilton disposable bags are not really meant to be tiplees because they're way too thick)

[@eileenarnold2622]

Are the bags reusable?

[@LittleCookieCo]

These ones are disposable

[@suellenchaffey2104]

Fantastic info 👍

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thanks ❤️

[@ginacardarelli4877]

what size bags do you buy

[@LittleCookieCo]

I always buy the 10 or 12 inch! I prefer 12 because they can a good amount of icing and I can still tie the bag shut!

[@dipaschall]

My icing tends to squiggle instead of make a a straight line, what am I doing wrong😭

[@LittleCookieCo]

It could be a few things: -Your tipless bags are too thick and so the seam causes this to happen (like if you're using wilton piping bags) -Your hole is too small, so snip it slightly bigger and cut across the seam! -the icing is too thick and your pressing too hard on the bag Sometimes it's a combo of 2 and 3 so if you don't want to thin your icing, then cut the hole slightly bigger and if you don't want the hole bigger, thing down the icing just a tad!

[@dipaschall]

@@LittleCookieCo Thank You!!!!!

[@marikiemarie7622]

I found tipless bags and they are no better than regular. Mine still had 2 seems. Too stiff. Cost too much and still same problems. Ive tried all the brands so far. Even these. Why am i have so many problems? Mine curl, get clogged. Ive done all the troubleshooting for the recipes. Ive done it all. Nothing ever works.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Tipless bags are only meant to have 1 seam, so the other ones with 2 are meant to be used with tips. They should be thinner and less stiff. Have you tried the ones I've linked in the description below the video? Once you get the right bags, you'll see it'll make a whole lot of difference!

[@marikiemarie7622]

​@@LittleCookieCothe ones I have are from sweet sugar bell. They are stiff and have 2 seems. The box say they are for using with out tip. They have the same texture has these but stiff. Amazon can be tricky cause I don't think they sent the right ones.

[@LittleCookieCo]

I think those Sweet Sugarbelle ones are thicker than the regular tipless ones. Try these ones out, they're also really good and it's not off Amazon. They're much thinner and playable. The seam and stiffness is really what creates issues when piping, so if it's thin, it's much softer and helps the icing come out the way it should. trulymadplastics.com/Tipless-Piping-Bags-Medium-100-bags-p37667135Tipless-Piping-Bags-Medium-100-bags-p37667135Tipless-Piping-Bags-Medium-100-bags-p37667135
