How well do these work with store-bought frosting. As in, is this set ok without couplings? Or will store bought frosting push the tip out of the bag?

If you must use store bought frosting, try sticking it in the fridge for a little while first (but not too long!). Store bought is not as firm so sometimes the shape won't hold as sharp. You could also add powdered sugar to help thicken it up a bit.

I used these without the couplers a few times. I didn't have an issue with the frosting being pushed out through the bag. But store-bought frosting is kind of soft (I think it's meant more for frosting/covering cakes plainly), so the shape of the tips won't look as sharp and crisp. Homemade buttercream frosting is stiffer and more suitable for decorating, I think.

I have made heavy frostings (my daughter decorates cakes), bread and cookie doughs, all with great success. I love how smooth and creamy my frostings come out. You have to be sure the contents of the bottom of the bowl get incorporated by scraping well early on, but the final outcome is always very good.

Yes, I use the regular Wilton tips and collars with these bags. They're great... nice and big and they have a little texture on the outside for a good grip. A good value for the money!

I would hafta say pint. Its the more standard box size n will allow room for the frosting without crushing. Good luck!

This is a great question. Well you right the coupler will not work.. So put it aside for small tips. Now this if you are using disposable piping bags cut it so about 1/4 will be exposed push the tip from the inside of the bag thru hole the you cut and you will be ready to go. I have found that my non disposable bags are cut to the right diameter. I hope this helps happy piping the large tips are great for adding batter to various silicon or tin cupcakes, lady fingers and small molds

The best way that works for me is to place in freezer for 1 minute and handle carefully when removing backing but it should pop right off. Since different types of frosting may be used by different sellers you may want to contact the seller you purchased from.

I don't use a coupler with the large tips, I just drop them in the bag. Course that means it's harder to change tips without emptying the bag. I don't even own a large coupler.

You don't need couplers. I have one but rarely use it. I use the Ateco pastry tips set for most applications and love it.

I guess. They are made of card stock so they'd get goopy, but it'd probably work as long as they didn't sit in frosting for too long.

When you buy these bags and you will continue over and over again, I suggest the Ateco 6 piece pastry tube and tips set for $9.99. These allow you to make gorgeous cake borders with just one go around a cake or decorate a cupcake with just one tip. Once you get into this you will be buying more diverse sets. I wish I could post pictures!The set includes and 804 round, 864 star, 846 closed star, 827 French star, 808 round and 898 basket weave. These large tips don't require a coupler.

I gave these as a gift to my daughter but she said that yes they will fit the Wilton coupler & that they work just as well. She said the only problem was that one of them rusted which she never had happen with any Wilton ones.

I am not familiar with the Ateco brand of decorating tips, I use Wilton (from years ago). These bags are designed so that you can cut the tip off so that any size coupler would work. Hope this helps

I bought this specifically for frosting. I regret to inform you that after multiple attempts at icing cakes and cupcakes I gave up because it made such a mess. once you remove your finger off the button it continues to release frosting. I dont know maybe I have a defective one, I plan on buying a piping bag soon.

They are native to a warm client. How ever aslong as it has stopped frosting, they will grow, at least some. Probably slowly, they are similar to cucumbers so if you have had any luck with cucumbers than these will probably work for you too.

NO, the only way to use those gigantimosis tips is to drop them into a pipping bag, cut the bag to fit and dump the frosting into the bag. My daughter-in-law gets credit for this answer. I actually adore the gigantimosis tips as they are great fun to work with.

You don't have to have a coupler with it. I just slip mine into a disposable bag, snip off the end so the tip will only slide about halfway out, fill it with frosting and you're good to go! Extra large couplers also work with these tips.

I have not yet purchased a cupcake corer so I'd had to improvise. I push the edge of a spoon / etc. into the cupcake and then give it a twist. Nothing really comes out, but the utensil creates a small opening where you can insert the tip of your decorating bag. I'm sure this would work on minis; it has worked well for me in the past and I've been able to fill the cupcakes with all sorts of good things: custard, ganache, mousse, etc.
