Decorating cakes is only a hobby for me. I have learned most of what I know on the subject by reading or by trial and error. I decorated a birthday cake this weekend, and I learned something new. This is such a simple trick, I don’t know why I didn’t know about it before.
I’ve always been one to end up with as much frosting on myself as on the cake when I’m decorating. Not today. The buttercream frosting stayed put in the piping bag. It only came out through the tip, like it is supposed to. Although I try to be careful, I usually end up with frosting oozing out the wrong end of the bag.
The way to fix that is with a piece of plastic wrap. Tear off a long piece and place it flat on the counter top. Pour a big dollop (enough to fill a piping bag) of frosting in the center of the plastic wrap. Roll the frosting up in the plastic wrap lengthwise. With the frosting rolled up in the middle, there will be a rolled up piece of plastic wrap on each end.
