IT115437 21" PipingPal Disposable Pastry Bag with Dispenser (100 Bags)

LOVE THESE! I have these in both 18" and 12". This size is great for doing larger quantities of cupcakes because they hold a lot more frosting than the 12". I use the smaller size to do smaller detail work because they are easier to handle, but these are great for large swirls that require a lot of frosting. These are far superior to the Wilton frosting bags. I've never had a leak through the seams (one in 5 had a hole in the Wilton brand). They feel a little like the sticky part of Glad Press & Seal wrap which some people have complained about. I find it nice because it doesn't slide around in your hand, even when your hands are a little wet (I'm constantly rinsing my hands) They don't just pop out of the box, but it doesn't bother me to take the roll out of the box and rip one or two off the roll. I mean, honestly, are we that lazy to complain about something like that? Oh, no! You mean I have to take these all the way out of the box?! (notice dripping sarcasm) These are great bags and a good value. I highly recommend getting both this and the 12" size if you do cupcakes and cake decorating on a regular basis.

These were great, large piping bags. They are perfect for the home or professional baker. They hold a lot of buttercream so you don’t have to refill the bag as much as the tiny bags. They are heavy duty and I’d recommend them to others.

These are great!! They are nice and thick but not so thick to make them unmanageable. Being in a roll really helps with keeping organized. I will definitely be buying more.

I finally decided that with as many cupcakes as I have been making lately it was time for larger piping bags, but I HATE HATE HATE trying to figure out the best way to store them (like I don't have enough baking and crafting stuff to figure out storage for). Enter these awesome piping bags. They are in a box not much different in size than you get plastic zipper bags in which means they fit easily into the drawer with those! The quality of the bags is great, they are thick enough to be durable without being so stiff as to be difficult to maneuver. They have a little bit of texture on the outside that is supposed to help with gripping, I don't know that it does or doesn't help, but it doesn't bother me and it doesn't negatively effect the usefulness of this product at all. I love that I can fill these 18" bags with enough frosting to easily and plentifully frost 9-12 cupcakes at a time without having to refill (as a 12" I was lucky to frost 6 cupcakes with) but my favorite thing has to be how easy these are to store!

I find that the other smaller bags (12-16) just are too small if you are decorating a dozen cupcakes or a regular size cake. These are a great size to do a cake without having to reload on frosting. One and done. I like that they have a slight grip on the outside, so they won't slip when your hands are covered in slipper ingredients. You could wash them and reuse, but with a box of 100, why bother. (Even tho I have done this several times). The only time I used anything smaller (size 12) pastry bag, is when I use it to pipe melted chocolate, or put sour cream in it for taco night. The bags are great and accommodate the regular tips or the large ones, without the coupling. The bags don't stretch a lot so the tips don't push out the tip (at least when I tried it, it didn't). I plan on buying more when I run out of these. But I still have a whole bunch left.

This 18 inch size of the Daymark disposable pastry bags are a good size to choose if you're frosting a batch or two of cupcakes or embellishing a cake. The best part of using these is that there is no messy cleanup like you have when using reusable pastry bags since you just remove your decorating tip or coupler and toss it in the trash when you're done. As with the other pastry bags in this product line, the plastic used is sturdy enough, although not as pliable as the plastic used for food storage bags. They can be used with or without tip couplers, and they can also be used with both the small or large and extra large decorating tips since you cut the small end off the bag to insert the tip or coupler. Keep in mind that the actual in-use size of the bag will be reduced by the amount you cut from the tapered end, so what starts out as an 18 inch bag will actually be shortened by a couple of inches when used. If you're planning on a massive amount of decorating on a large cake, you might prefer the DayMark 115437 21" Hand-E-Grip Pastry Bag with Dispenser (Roll of 100) bags. If you sometimes feel like you could use an extra hand when filling the bag with frosting or pastry for piping, here's a hint that might help. After inserting the tip or coupler into the bag, I fold over about a third of the bag to the outside then place the tip end of the bag into a tall glass with the folded portion hanging outside of the top of the glass. Then you can fill the bag using both hands to hold the mixing bowl of frosting and the spatula or large spoon without trying to steady the bag upright at the same time. This also makes sure you've got enough clean bag material at the top to twist closed to begin piping. Recommended.

These are great sturdy pastry bags that are easy to handle and easy to deal with when it is time to clean up. The plastic is thick and durable and if you chose to, you could definitely wash them out and reuse again. The dispenser is not really useful, as you have to manually separate the bags, which requires opening the flap, but the box is handy for storage. The bags themselves are not perfect cones at the open end, due to them being attached to the ones before and after it in the roll, but they work perfectly and are easy to use (not stiff like canvas coated bags). I was able to fit frosting for 24 cupcakes in an 18 inch bag and it fit perfectly, though the bag is easier to handle when less full -- just so one has an idea of the capacity.

Good product. I love that they are rolled up tight in the box so they don't unravell and make them messy to store. They are strng and of good quality too.
