Couplers
What are they?
Couplers usually come in two plastic pieces: a base and a ring. This system fits inside cake decorating bags or cones and allows you to use the same icing with different tips.
Step 1: Choose which type of decorating bag/cone you would like to use. In this tutorial, a disposable plastic pastry bag is used.
Step 2: Insert the coupler base into the chosen pastry bag/cone. Find where the helical groove or thread of the coupler begins and note to cut there with scissors. Push back the coupler and cut bag.
Step 3: Reinsert the coupler base and cap it with a tip.
Step 4: To secure your decorating tip, screw on the coupler ring. To interchange tips, unscrew ring, insert new tip and secure again.
Happy Cake Decorating!
Tip: Fill cone only half way full.

Hi, I'm visiting from MBC. Great blog.
a couple of years ago, my sister and i took at cake decorating class, (just the ones at jo-anns craft store) i wish we had known about your blog, it would have been very helpful and informational!
thanks for stopping by my blog, your comment made my day!
I love the Royal Icing but I had never known how to make it! Thanks for the recipe!! :)
I have a large canvas bag, and some of my tips fall through. When I use my coupler, it's too big and won't fit. Ugh! Do couplers come in different sizes, or is my bag just sewn wrong? lol
