Do you have to have a coupler? I'm only going to be frosting cupcakes, no decorations.

Without a coupler & tip, you might as well just use a knife to spread the frosting on. But for a professional looking cupcake, go with a coupler & a tip

You do not need a coupler to use a tip to frost (decorate) a cupcake. You can put it directly in the bag (with the end of the bag cut off) and go. The coupler is great if you want to use the same bag with a variety of tips. FYI, you don't even need a tip to frost a cake. You can just use a bag with the end cut off. The coupler and metal tips just make decorating time that much easier and quicker. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.Customer ServiceCielo Rosa, LLC

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.

Yes, you can place cupcakes beneath the bottom tier. It's the same space as between the other tiers.

i have had my decorating items for more than 25 years ... i don't remember if the 14-pc set comes with a coupler ...but any standard coupler will fit the Ateco bags ... i always trim the tips of my bags to accommodate the coupler ... i always have several bags and coupler sets on hand when i decorate ... and mine get A LOT of use !!!

My suggestion would be to place the directly into the icing bag. Forget about the coupler.

Yes. You would just use the round tip and insert it into the cupcake. The same way you would with a piping bag. However, i find it much easier and less messy to use this instead of a piping bag

Might look nicer if you do LO on one and VE on the other and put them side by side ! They are tiny but it could look a little tight on a standard size cupcake . Hope this helps!

Sorry, not sure. I only make them once in a while for school events. Its just nice to have so I don't have to worry about anyone not returning my cupcake holders.

No I don't think so. If you don't frost it, you could force it into the cup. Not really for a cupcake

Hi, this set does not include couplers because the main tips included are too large for the standard coupler to fit. You would either have to find the larger coupler or just cut the end of the bag a little larger to fit the wider tip. I have a pic for you but I have no idea how to get it in here... I will continue to try

This coupler will work with the Wilton Round 2A tip. Although I have the Wilton large coupler, I prefer to use a disposable plastic bag with no coupler. Enjoy and Happy decorating!

Regular size only with normal frosting, not fancily decorated. (Is fancily a word?)Best used for my fancy minis. Good luck!

Nope no couplers needed. Just snip the bottom of the bag and secure the tip

Hi,Just a bag would work fine, the advantage of couplers is to change tips without using another bag. Sometimes this is helpful, sometimes not. Example if you are using 2 colors of icing you will need 2 bags and a coupler is useless. However, if you are using 2 or more tips with one color the coupler will save bags. I hope this helps.Thanks,JoeJoe

Roxanne...these tips work great with parchment. I took a close look at the Dessert Decorator and it appears they attach by coupler. I prefer parchment for better design control. Have fun whatever you do!

Yes, these couplers fit all standard tips. I used them along with several Wilton tips for decorating cupcakes and they worked wonderfully.

Yes, the couplers are NOT included in the set. I guess you could just stick the tip inside the plastic bag if you do not need to change the tip; however they are designed to use the coupler so the tips can be easily exchanged on the same tube of icing.
