Ateco Piping Bags, Short Spatulas and Pastry Tubes

Ateco Piping Bags, Short Spatulas and Pastry Tubes

About Transcript Embed
Hi, this is Julie Bashore from the Sugar Arts Institute. Let’s have fun with some of the Ateco piping tips. Working with their disposable piping bags that come on a roll, they tear off really easily, I like to work with the smaller 12” bags but they also have 18”. Working with a coupler, remove the nut from the base of the coupler and place the base in the bag as tightly as you possibly can. Working with a pair of scissors, above the screw marks, just cut the edge of the bag and remove that. And then you’re going to choose the piping tube that you’d like to work with, place it on the top of the coupler, and screw it down firmly. This is a piping bag stand; it’s very convenient, especially if you’re piping alone or you don’t want to interrupt anyone to fill the bags, it holds the bags really well and you can slip your icing in there. This is the short-ended Ateco spatula which is quite wide so it’s really convenient for picking up the buttercream. Pull the bag up, place it on the table, and spread the buttercream down to the end. And then of course it’s important not to forget to burp the bag. This piping tip that I’m using is a ruffling pipe piping tip, and it’s absolutely amazing how quickly it works. Have a look, come in close. Doesn’t that give an awesome ruffle? Let’s work with another tip. This is the shell tip; don’t forget to burp your bag. This is great for a border; in fact, I sometimes use it on the edge of my ruffle. It gives a really nice shell design. The tip itself is curved so it gives a nice puffy shell appearance to it. Ateco has a new set that they’ve brought out: polycarbonate plastic piping tips, they are large tips, very strong and very precise in the edging. This one is a basket weave design; it really makes an awesome border. Place the bag over the holder, again, don’t forget to push the butter cream all the way to the edge and burp the bag. It has two edges, a flat edge and a scalloped edge so this makes a great ribbon design; you can also wiggle it or make just a ribbon and also wiggle this. Flip it over and wiggle. Great for basket weave.

    I love this tip because it is a bit longer than a standard Wilton tip and it has a small ridge around the large end that seems to help it stay in place better.

    from Blessings Cakes & Cupcakes Posted on

    This decorating tip is the perfect size for filling cupcakes and pastries. It is just a basic tip, no design but sometimes that's all you need!

    Posted on

    I think this small to medium sized plain pastry tube is best used for frosting bite size cupcakes. It adds just enough frosting with a simple pipe.

    from Fast Casual Cafe Posted on

    Allows for quick, simple work.

    Perfect for my beehive cupcakes! Works great with reusable bags. I leave the tips on and freeze my frosting to use later. Buy more than one!

    Posted on

    This tip was great for our beehive cupcakes!

    This size is an "in between size" - you can't really use it for writing, but it is good for borders on cakes or for frosting some cupcakes - For the price, try different ways to use this tip!

    from Hardcore Sweet Posted on

    Perfect to use for filling. Used in center of the frosting.

    This is a plain pastry tip, and easy to use with or without a coupler. I use this tip for piping macaroons, or when creating pearling. The Ateco brand tips are very good-they are made of stainless steel, hold up very well to normal use and abuse, and clean up easily in the dishwasher without rusting.

    Posted on

    These are a perfect size for a pearl trim on a cake. Or if I want a nice thick buttercream name written on a cake.

    from Courtney's Cakes and Sweet Treats Posted on

    Ateco 803 5/16" Plain #3 Pastry Tube (August Thomsen) is the perfect item for writing on cakes and cupcakes, it's thin enough to draw detail.

    from Mocha Choca Latte Posted on

    beautiful designs, these plain utensils are perfect for borders and creating lines to start your decorating process.

    This 803 Ateco tip works nicely with large items and cupcakes. The stainless steel thickness is great for our needs, keep its original shape even after our everyday wear and tear

    from BKE Posted on

    I found this Ateco 803 tip perfect for piping macarons. I think it gives you more control over the batter when using this one compared to a larger tip.

    Posted on

    Love this size for piping macarons.

    Easy to make great designs with this tip. Results are always positive and the product holds up with multiple uses. They are also longer which makes them easier to handle and get into your bags.

    from Coco & Mini's LLC Posted on

    Ateco is the leading name in tips. This one is no different. I have purchased all of the Ateco tips. Best quality at the best value. You will not go wrong or regret buying Ateco tips.

    I love using this piping tip for piping my macarons. The opening is not to wide which makes the air bubbles pop while piping. Very nice and sturdy will definitely purchase a few more of them

    Plain #3 pastry tube

    I love this tip. I primarily use it to pipe macaroon batter, for which it's a perfect size. They're so cheap here that I just bought five of them, which turned out to be good when my boyfriend accidentally ground one up in the garbage disposal. They fit perfect in a Wilton reusable piping bag, or on the Wilton classic coupler size if you want to be able to switch out tips on the same frosting bag.

    Posted on

    This tip is the perfect size for piping macarons!

    These are great if you are not planning to use a coupler. They are much bigger that I was thinking. If you are looking for large tips, then this is great
