I do that in my regular piping bags too. I love it because the bags are so much easier to clean.
Thanks for sharing.

No the plastic wrap will not interfer w/ the tips. As long as you have the frosting close to the edge of the open end it will come out fine. |

my instructor taught us that as well, she calls them icing plugs. They work awesome. I ran out of saran wrap today and using baggies for the same reason. I love that method! |

I've seen this used to put two or three colors in the same bag for the striping effect. It works great for that also. |

It works great for storing and transporting icing as well. You just twist up both ends and when you are ready to use it cut one end off and drop it in the bag. |

This is the method that I use. I picked that tip up from someone earlier this year here. It is the BEST tip too. I'm new to decorating and was having trouble getting the icing into the bag and not on me......  After trying this it was magic, no more fighting to get the icing in the bag. It also made switching colors a snap too. Get done with one color and just pop another in there. Worked great! and clean up is a breeze too!
I just love the CC site!!!!!!!  |

newlywedws you did a great job showing how this works. I love this method too. Someone posted this on this site a few months back and I have enjoyed using it since then. I have never had a problem with the method and it is so much cleaner. I really like using more than one color too. |
