Somehow, every time I pull out the pastry bag, I am soon up to my elbows in icing. When I saw this genius tip, I knew I had to try it. Place the pasty bag, with the piping tips affixed, into a tall drinking glass. Fold a few inches of the bag over the edge of the glass, and place the icing, or whatever you are piping, into the bag, using the edge of the glass to scrape the excess off spatula. Once it is filled, remove the bag from the glass, gather up the sides, and pipe away!
Why didn’t I think of that?
