Cake Decorating - Making A Paper Piping Cone



I often am asked how to make the paper parchment piping bags for cake decorating. They are super easy and all you need is some parchment paper or waxed paper, some tape (optional) and a pair of scissors to cut the tip. In the video I show how to make a large cone and small ones from a 15 inch piece cut in two. (economical) and a waxed paper one in case you don't have parchment in the house.

You can also cut the tips into various sizes openings for your piping and even make a leaf tip by cutting a triangle into the tip. Use regular decorating tips by plopping them in and cutting a hole large enough for the tip to fit through. That's it. Hope you enjoy the video.

These are great if you have a lot of different colors to work with. This way you will not have to keep washing the bags and drying them between colors. Also great for piping chocolate and fine details.
