Pastry Decorating Tip, Set of 3

Being French and loving pastry, I was looking for an affordable but efficient pastry bag and decorating tips.First, the quality. The bag is thick enough to give an solid impression of quality. The major drawback would be that it is hard to turn it over, for cleaning purposes or to put the tip inside.The plastic is easy to clean, even with pastes with a lot of fat: buttery cream,or for instance pistachio " creme a patisserie".The bag's size: big enough to inject your wonderful pastes, even if you will probably have to do it in 2/3 times if you have a big volume. Yet it remains easy to manipulate, which wasn't the case for my former French bags, way too big.The tips: there are not small or narrow. You will have to adjust the thickness of your paste to make sure it is easy to handle, but it's no big deal. Never had an issue with 4/5 different pastes.For beginners or for people who don't care about having really fancy designs, I would recommend this product. Quality is great, easy to wash,and those two tips are enough for 99% of patisserie-lovers.It is more relevant to learn to manipulate theses 2 tips and have precise drawings than buying 15 different ones with out-of-nowhere patterns you will probably loose somewhere in a cabinet.

Maybe it might be a little expensive for a bag and two tips but putting that aside, this is all you will need for your decorating needs. From cupcakes, cakes, whipped cream to savory things. The bag is alright in strenght, definitely NOT cheap. The tips are really big so it will "puff" nicely on cupcakes. I use the star a lot even if my decorating skills are sloppy but who cares, just maneuver yourself as youc can, with these, you can't go wrong. It's beautiful with whipped cream; very sexy ridges.Cleaning: It's easy with soap, water and your hands. Doesn't stink like plastic. It WILL take the smell of the last food contact which is mostly butter here. Air dry on top of a long juice cup overnight to make sure every water drop is evaporated and store it in a ziploc bag or tupperware with the tips.Overall, this is great purchase for beginners who will stay forever beginners. Should be in every wedding registry. This is all you will need for the rest of your life when it comes to decorating. Just buy other tips if you want more designs but I dont think so unless you win the Next Big Cupcake Star or something. Can't go wrong but remember, the bag is not HUGE just for simple meduim jobs.

I previously purchased the ateco 55 pc decorating tip set, but none of the tips were big enough to pipe out eclairs or cream puffs. After reading the reviews I decided to get this set of 3. It is such a great deal because it's about the same price as just buying a pastry bag.. here you get the tips too! Plus I got this with the 4 for 3 promo, so it came out FREE!So, since it's not in the description I will tell you the tip numbers: the round tip is number 806 and the tip opening is 1/2 in. The star tip is number 824. It also comes with a little insert directions for mashed potatoes, eclairs, cream puffs, crullers and meringues. By the way, there is no extra container/ holder.. it all just comes in a small box which I kept and use it for storing the bag and tips.BOTTOM LINE: great buy and try to get it with the 4 for 3 promo. I already used the round tip to make eclairs, cream puffs, and french macarons. I have yet to use the star tip, maybe I'll make some cupcakes.. I definitely recommend buying these!

This is a good sturdy bag that handles thick doughs and icings well with no leaking. It is easy to clean and with the inner plastic coating, you'll not likely have any problems with food soaking into the bag for the first 6-8 uses. If all you're using this bag for is non-dairy frostings, then it would be easy to justify the expense, however if you're using it for egg or cream based foods (choux, custard) then you are limited to maybe 10 uses before you see evidence of food remaining even after a good cleaning. I recommend, overall, using just a gallon freezer bag with a coupler and tip. You already have them on hand likely, they cost mere pennies and perform just as well, without worry of contamination, as they are disposable. From now on I'll stick to the AB rule of no one-task items and just use what I have on hand.

As some people have noted, this set does NOT come with a coupler.Is it absolutely necessary to have a coupler? The answer is only if you need to change tips and you want the ease of using one bag.I had no problems cleaning the bag. The easiest way I've found is to invert the bag so that the inside covered with frosting is on the outside of the bag, and then clean with warm soapy water. You also need to do it right away, don't let it sit there before you clean it.If you didn't want to use the bag, you could use disposable ziploc bags, and snip part of the corner off so that your tip fits snugly.The tips are the right size for doing those lovely big swirls on cupcakes, and you can certainly use the star tip to do shells for a border on a cake.If you are an amateur and wanting to get something inexpensive to decorate cupcakes with, get this set.

This set is a great deal. I am a newby when it comes to decorating cakes and cupcakes so this set is just right for me. The larger tip sizes make simple design easy. I frosted about 20 cupcakes using the round tip to make simple swirls of frosting. My first try was a little off so I simply scraped off the frosting and added it right back to the bag. The bag is just the right size too. Not too large so that you have to use a lot of pressure to get the frosting to come out through the tip. For my first attempt using the large star tip I made the mistake of leaving the frosting in the fridge to long. It needed to soften up before I was able to easily get the frosting through the tip. Quick learning curve..no problem at all.

I was so glad when I found this set on the Amazon website! The two large decorating tips (star tip size 824, and round tip size 806) are the perfect size for making fancy pastries: such as eclairs, cream puffs, profiteroles; piped garnishes; devilled eggs, decorating and filling cakes and other desserts, piping potatoes on top of a stews or casseroles, or other uses that will fancy up everyday items. Even left-overs will get a whole new make-over. If you don't think you would use a larger set with more tips, this set will suit your needs and your pocketbook and will make your baking and food decorating so much fun and look professional!

Works great! Worth buying!

This is exactly the size tip that I was looking for. Decorated my Christmas cupcakes with it and the icing looked amazing

This item was delivered in less than 48 hours with Free shipping, which is amazing. I'm very happy with the pastry bag, just the same as I had before (lasted me 4 years before splitting). Thinking about it, in 4 years maybe I'd opt for a 16" bag, but that my problem. The coating feels nice, it's impermeable but the bag is not too stiff. Nice to work with. I had to cut just a tad the tip, maybe 5 mm, so both the large tips and my other coupler would fit.Good buy ! Very cheap too.

Great pastry decorating bag. Excellent shipping.
