Wilton Color Swirl Icing Kit, Color Swirl Plastic Coupler With Swirl Feature, Piping Bags And Tips Set Icing Piping Kit, 9-Piece

I have no idea why other people have had problems with this - if you follow the directions, it works great! I assembled it with no problems, made some fresh buttercream frosting, and it required relatively little effort to extrude. The directions tell you to assemble the device with the bags before you put any frosting in them and make sure that the three nozzles are keyed together correctly - otherwise, the threads don't line up and I doubt that they will even fit together flush like they are supposed to. I feel like store-bought icing is too viscous to be used with this device - I've always found those very difficult to work with in general. Freshly made buttercream at room temperature worked great for me - I just rolled the bags up together at the top like a kayaking dry bag, and the look and consistency of the final product was perfect on the first try (photo attached).The directions do say that you can use just two nozzles, but this doesn't make any sense to me - of course the frosting is going to come out the path of least resistance, so partially through the tip and partially backwards through the third nozzle. This just seems like common sense to me.

This product worked wonderfully well for me - a complete novice decorator. I wanted to create a tie dye themed cupcake for my sons' birthday party and ordered this product after reading the reviews. Never having piped frosting before, I was nervous, but the outcome was adorable. Like previous reviewers have mentioned, the set up does take some patience. Certainly make sure to couple the bags together before filling them with your frosting. I did have a minor setback when I had to re-load some frosting into the bags halfway through and that created some air bubbles; nothing a little extra frosting couldn't fix! I'll be using this again for sure.

We did a Nerf themed birthday party for my son and wanted to try this out. I am not a baker, and I am not a crafty person. This was pretty easy to use. I cut about 1.25” off the tip of the pastry bag, rolled the bag all the way down, and then pushed the frosting tip through. There are little grips on the side to hold the bag in place. It clipped together pretty easy and then I filled it with frosting after putting it together. Squeezing out the frosting gave me multiple hand cramps but it was worth it. I used Walton’s buttercream white frosting that I bought on Amazon with it and the Wilton gel dye. Also picked up the cupcake toppers on Amazon, too. Overall I’m pleased with it, and the 13 yr old kids even said the cake was ‘cool’. Would definitely buy again.

La idea está muy bien, podría ser un poco más práctico el sistema para colocar las mangas con las tres boquillas pero el resultado vale la pena

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!! When I saw the video, I was like, NO WAY!!!! I got it, and it exceeded my expectations. The kids and I were just so tickled by this. I even used the tricolor effect in one of the books that we published. They're so cool, and I look forward to using them for all sorts of projects on our blog. Things I've learned: It's not easy for children to do because of the sheer amount of icing that you have to hold. It's not great if your icing is too stiff, as it will really hurt to squeeze hard enough to get it out, and it won't be as smooth. Using 2 colors works, but it's a bit more messy.

I’m torn on this product because it has a beautiful result but I learned quickly to only half fill my bags. My hand is not that big and squeezing it out became a bit of a pain!Now that I’ve played with it, next time I get asked to do a tricolored frosting I’m going to do a tutorial video on this. This really is a good product, I think it just needs better instructions.

Love this kit! It was perfect for our unicorn theme birthday party. For someone who has never really used a piping bag or decorating tips, our cupcakes turned out so beautifully. Best part: it was easy to use and easy to clean. They looked so good people at the party asked where we bought them! Can’t wait to use again and highly recommend.

The girls thought the different icing colors were so cool. A big hit!Easy to use the direction are perfect.
