"Hi, my name is Elizabeth Sutton. I'm one of the head decorators hear at Amanda Oakleaf
cakes. I really enjoy working here and being a decorator, more specifically cupcake decorator.
You can come visit us at our store front. It's at 1 Pauline Street in Winthrop, Massachusetts.
And you can also visit out website at oakleafcakes.com. And today I'm going to be talking to you about
cupcake decorating. So, I""m gonna show you how to turn an ordinary freezer bag into a
piping bag. Um, if you absolutely cannot get a piping bag, this is a good option. So the
first thing you're gonna wanna do is take your freezer bag and you're gonna wanna cut
off a very small corner. Start small cause you can always cut more off but you cannot
put more bag on. So try and see if your piping tip fits. If the tip is out but you cannot
push the entire thing out of the piping bag itself then you're tip fits perfectly. And
this one fits pretty well so the next step would be to flip the bag inside out as you
would do a regular piping bag. It's a little tricky because your piping tip is kind of
in a weird spot. It's kind of in the corner. So just keep that in mind when you're filling
it. So I would hold it from the tip. That way you know where to direct your frosting.
With these I wouldn't fill them so full because they hold a lot less than a normal piping
bag. So making sure that the opening to the piping bag is at the top. You're gonna wanna
push your frosting down. It might be a little awkward to hold it but just make sure there's
no air in there. So you're gonna wanna take your piping bag. That is how you turn a freezer
bag into a piping bag.
