Tips on icing bags:

There are many ways to fill an icing bag. The old fashioned way is to hold it in your hand and bend the sides over like a baseball mitt almost. Fill with a spoon and fold the top down. Keep the top in the palm of your hand while you pipe. You may notices this means the bag is not sealed and you’re correct. To someone inexperienced it’s all too easy to let the icing out. It’s also not mobility friendly for people with arthritis or kids.

What I like best is use a tall cup (starbucks tumblers or yetis work perfectly) fill with a scoop, and then use a bag tie. I promise you bag ties are superior to rubber bands, plastic clamps, and anything on the market. The name brand ones do work better than the cheapos on amazon but the amazon ones are about 100 for 8$. Most kid friendly one out there.

Try at home next time you’re looking for some summer kid activites.
