piping bags

Cake decorator's cones

Piping bags are cone-shaped bags used to squeeze out frosting, cream, or other soft substances in controlled lines or shapes.

A baker fills the bag, twists the top closed, and applies pressure to push the contents through a narrow tip at the bottom.

Different tips create different decorative patterns: She fitted the piping bag with a star tip for the cupcake rosettes.

Also called pastry bags.
