I bought one of these bags 7 or 8 years ago, and I have used it exclusively for decorating cakes for that entire time. (I bought mine at Williams Sonoma for a lot more $$$) It is in awesome shape still! The grip is nice and allows you to control the bag much better than even the Wilton brand bags which are slippery. These also have a hole on the back for hanging to dry, hanging to fill, etc. I was very excited to see them available on Amazon.com. Happy decorating and filling!

For those who are familiarizing themselves with using a pastry bag, this set is the one you'll want to get you started. Affordably priced, these textured bags are quite durable and are lined with plastic. The outer part of the bags never becomes slippery, and they clean easily once you're finished with them. The 3 bags include a 10-in., 12-in., and 16-in, and work well for decorating and filling pastries or creating hors d'oeuvres.

Ateco #331 Plastic Tip/Disposable Bag Set Review

Ateco #331 Plastic Tip/Disposable Bag Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I brought this product as a basic starter kit for cake decorating. It has three nozzles of different size, and an adequate number of disposable bags for decorating cakes with.
Being my first time with cake decorating, I don't have much to compare my experiences with. So I cannot say whether this product is as good as others available. However, I can say that as a beginner, I was fairly pleased with my cake decorating results using this bag, and am happy with my purchase.
The bag is large and sturdy, and holds a very generous amount of filling. I found it really difficult to get the filling into the bag, but I believe this to be an issue with all decorating bags and is solved by practice and experience. Once I had managed to fill my bag, the decorating process was fairly straightforwards. I was easily able to decorate my cakes, and though not perfect, being my first time decorating a cake, I was very pleased with the results.
As a first time purchase for beginners, I would recommend this product. It is not too expensive, and I personally prefer the idea of having disposable bags as I would rather not have to deal with the cleanup afterwards. The added bonus of this product is that it comes with three nozzles, making it especially good for beginners. The three sizes look like a fair selection for a beginner, and the quantity of bags in the pack is just the right amount to get started and see if cake decorating is something you would like to do regularly.

The bag is narrow and difficult to fill. You invariably end up with a mess which gets even more messy because the bag is made from a very slippery plastic. I had no luck using this bag, even though I gave it two chances.

Wilton 2011 Yearbook Review

This is a good purchase if you like cake decorating and sometimes need ideas. Most of the book showcases cakes with fondant, whereas in the past they did fondant and frosting. But it gives me great ideas when I'm short so that's a plus. I do wish that instead of only having cake ideas for half the book then advertising wilton products for the other half that they only did cakes or at least more cakes less wilton advertising.

I'm not a pro baker but this one works fine for me, I find it easy to clean and the parts seem to be of decent quality. Good find for the price.

This compact set provides you with tools that do much the same work as those in the decorating syringe kit, but here the syringe is replaced by a 9 inch long pastry bag. The cloth bag, fitted with its interior plastic lining, is fitted with a plastic coupling that holds the pastry tips. The kit comes with 6 rust-proof tips in shapes that will produce flowers and leaves, ruffles, rosettes, and fluted ridges, as well as writing. Because the pastry bag is small and the tips delicate, this set is best used for cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and petits fours.

Wilton 23-Piece Cupcake & Cake Decorating Set Review

Wilton 23-Piece Cupcake and Cake Decorating Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great set! I'm delighted with it and already making professional looking cakes and cupcakes. Even my 5 year old is getting in the action and makes things look nice. It's perfect for a beginner but the tips are varied and inclusive enough to go the distance; I expect I will use this for many years very happily without needing anything else (except more bags!).
It includes all the pieces I was looking at in two of the other starter kits from Wilton PLUS a decorating triangle and spatula. It also includes the 1M and "Bismark tip" that people seem to rave about in reviews for other sets. I offer detail below since the product description seems scant.
Specifically, set includes 6 tips ...
ROUND TIP 5 (fine point, outlines, printing, writing)
ROUND TIP 12 (big outlines, dots)
STAR TIP 22 (stars, shells, zig zags, rosettes)
STAR TIP 1M (rosettes, stars, drop flowers)
BISMARK TIP 230 (fill delicious cupcakes and eclairs)
LEAF TIP 352 (dainty leaves and ornate borders)
plus a "DECORATING TRIANGLE" that is a cool tool with contours to drag across sides (or top) to make a even, professional looking pattern finish. Of course, the triangle offers three contour choices. (See more here: Wilton Triangular Cake Decorating Comb)
and an 8" SPATULA,
and 4 ICING COLORS (Golden Yellow, Rose Petal, Royal Blue, Leaf Green).
Everything else is as described: two standard COUPLERS to hold the tips if you want to change tips with same bag of frosting; 10" PROFESSIONAL BAG (washable); and 8 12" DISPOSABLE BAGS.
Love it. Enjoy!

Ateco Extra Wide Pastry Decorating Tip, Set of 3 Review

Ateco Extra Wide Pastry Decorating Tip, Set of 3

I bought a set of Ateco piping tips are a catering store as it was all they had. I thought it would do for piping frosting onto cupcakes. It worked ok but the tips weren't really large enough (and I don't make the cupcakes that big). The set I bought before was more for cake decorating.
I looked all over for large tips and ended up finding them here. The bag and tips sealed well and did a great job. The the reviewers are right. I am looking forward to trying them with mashed potatoes or deviled eggs.
The mouth of the round tip measured in at 14mm diameter(large enough for me to stick a finger through) and the star tip was 10mm.

I really love this set, it was great for me because I am a beginner. I use it all the time now, and even bought the set for my friend. It takes a little practice to get used to how you are supposed to use the tips, I would recommend watching some online videos on how to use them properly, but besides that they are a great set, very durable. The coupler came pre-attached, and I have had no problems washing at all, cleanup is quick and easy!
