If you enjoy decorating cakes and other treats for any and all special occasions, then you know how important a piping bag is. With this handy tool you can effortlessly squeeze bright designs onto your cakes to turn them into colorful works of art. While experienced bakers likely have a specialty piping bag handy, you can easily create one yourself with something you likely already have in your pantry.
If you need to make a piping bag pronto, you just need to pull out a roll of aluminum foil and get to work. Make a cone out of the foil (some bakers recommend folding two pieces of foil together for durability), fill it with the frosting you're using to decorate with, carefully cut the tip off the cone, and you're all set — no need for any fancy equipment. Make sure to take your time so you're getting the consistency you want for your decorations on your baked goods and so you don't accidentally rip the aluminum foil.
Other ways to make DIY piping bags Aluminum foil can come through in a pinch if you need a piping bag, but it's not the only thing you can use to make one. If you're in a jam, a plastic resealable bag (such as a Ziploc) can also be used for piping purposes — bonus if you have slider bags because there's less of a chance to make a mess with your . Parchment paper can also be used as a piping bag and is recommended for piping chocolate.
It can be made using the same steps as the aluminum foil. With a little bit of patience and know-how, you can have an easy-to-m.
