I love that idea with the glad wrap. I don't usually bother with a coupler, but I think I will next time.

I'm glad this tip is proving useful to others - it justifies the hours I spend on Pinterest!😏

ES - the main reason for using a coupler is if you want to use different tips on the same icing - it means you don't have to load up lots of different icing bags (ie outlining in different thicknesses) if you don't want to use different tips then just stick with what works for you.

There's a discussion on the previous page of the thread, were some tried hi-lo milk.
I've used low fat milk in this plenty of times (as that's all we have) and it's worked out beautifully.

The cling film is great. Thanks snappy.
Wonder if you can do two tone like that? 2 lots of cling wrap in bigger bag?
I've never done this before.
Need chocolate an vanilla and either risk this or have to pipe separately.
What does anyone think please?

I signed up for their newsletter and ogle all the things on there that I am sure I need.

It sort of worked with the cling... Two rolls in one piping bag.

Not perfect and I am not Maddy, I need lessons but the overall effect is ok I think.
