Editor's Notes
May 22, 2020:
Decorating baked goods can be an art-form once you master this skill. There are plenty of cake decorating sets available that include just about everything you need to get started. However, these sets do not always include the highest-quality pastry bag.
In choosing our selections, we opted for both disposable and reusable choices because every baker has a preference. Disposable models, like the Weetiee Pastry Kit and the Ateco 4712, normally come in large quantities of 100 bags. All of these bags make it easy for a seasoned decorator to swiftly and efficiently decorate cookies, cupcakes, and other sweets. They can be thrown away after just one use, and the price is usually quite affordable.
If your preference is reusable, then the Kasmoire Pastry Pouch might be a good choice. It includes 6 bags in 3 different sizes, and each one can be washed and reused. It also comes with couplers, ties, and decorating tips, so you have everything you need to start decorating right out of the box - just add the icing. The Wilton 404-304 is a professional-grade, fabric model that is safe for using in the microwave and quite durable. The fabric is lined with silicone to make it easy to clean.
We included one decorating set, the Kootek Decorating Kit, because it includes 2 quality, silicone bags, as well as various tips, 2 reusable couplers, and a handy storage case to keep all of your tools in one place.
