How to Fill a Piping Bag

If you want to pipe pretty swirls for your cupcakes or make any kind of designs on a layer cake, a piping bag is needed. If you will be using a piping tip with your bag, I highly recommend using a coupler. A coupler is a two-part plastic piece that goes in your bag and attaches the piping tip to the outside. This allows you to swap out your piping tips without switching bags.

To fill the bag, fit it with the coupler and piping tip, or cut the tip off if you aren’t using a piping tip.
