icing catridges
has any one tried these for piping ,what a fantastic idea first time i have used them today but i will be using them all the time now,
you mix your icing that you are going to use then take a sqare piece of cling filmplce a decent size dollop in the centre sausage shaped,take a corner of the cling filmand fold it to the opposite corner (making a triangle) roll from the middle where your icing is making a shape like a xmas cracker,until you have the icing rolled in the cling film and an end either side make a knot in one side ,just lean the other side on to the centre, make as many as you can ,
now set up your icing bag cut the end thats loose and drop it into your icing bag ,bag stays clean ,when you run out ,take the empty cartrige out, cut the end of another one and drop it in then your ready to pipe away without the mess of filling your bag so simple, result!!!

i don't know whether i explained that very well,my grammer is terrible ,
i mean't put a dollop of the icing in the middle of the cling film, then take one corner across to the other, then roll from the middle to the corner sealing the icing in ,hope that's better x

I have pictures and step by step instructions posted on how to do this here is the link... http://www.cakeswebake.com/photo/albums/preparing-bags-for-easy I learned how to do this at my last job as a cookie decorator. It's the only way to go in my opinion. It's not necessary to tie a knot in one end , just catch that end with a rubber band to keep the icing from coming out the end.

Since there is less clean up, I make a bag for each color. Then if I have left over icing I just put it in the freezer bag and all.

I always have some Buttercream Icing and a cake in the freezer. It is so handy for that last minute cake you want ......I just take everything out and am putting the cake together in no time at all. But if they are in those small containers they will thaw in no time. I do this all the time.
I do NOT freeze Royal Icing...I don't believe it will do very well.

Mary, that's I use buttercream on my cakes and royal icing on my cookies. I freeze both. It doesn't take long for them to thaw, so I just take them out of the freezer on the morning I will be needing them. If I need to thaw a roll of icing quickly, I'll take a kitchen towel, run it under warm water, squeeze it out, and then wrap it around the roll for a couple minutes. Make sure the towel isn't too hot or your icing will melt and you'll have to put it back in the refrigerator to harden up a bit. You can freeze the icing plugs without a bag also...just put them in an air tight container. Icing is good in the freezer for two months, so I date them when they go in.

How do you store your royal icing. I have not dabbled in royal icing since my Wilton class, frankly I am still not comfortable with it. Any advise would be helpful.

Anne, I store all my icing the same way. In an airtight container on the counter if I'm going to use it right away or if I have extra I roll my icing into plugs as we have discussed here and put them in the freezer in an airtight container.
