Using Your Decorating
Bag and Coupler

You can make many different designs with just one decorating bagful of icing by using the Wilton Featherweight or Disposable Decorating bags and coupler and changing decorating tips.
Just follow these steps:
1. Screw ring off coupler to expose series of tiny threads 112 in. above coupler base.
2. Force coupler base as far down into decorating bag as it will go.Then mark where bottom thread of coupler shows through 3
bag; remove coupler and trim bag at pencil ,.,•~
mark with a pair of scissors. 6--.- pi"
3. Reposition coupler in bag and push end 4. 4 through opening to expose
bottom two threads.
4. Position decorating tip over coupler and screw ring in place to secure. To change tips, unscrew ring, replace tip and replace ring.
5. To fill, cuff open end of bag over your hand and insert icing with a spatula. Fill bag no
more than half full.
6. To close, unfold cuff and twist top of bag shut. Hold twist between your thumb and forefinger. Note: You can eliminate any air bubbles that may have have formed by squeezing bag gently over icing bowl until air is released. Important: Be sure to wash the Featherweight bag in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry afterevery use. A degreaser can make clean-up easier.
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°For temperature per recipe directions. Your cake will unmold easily, without sticking, when you prepare the pan properly. Grease the inside of pan using a pastry brush and solid vegetable shortening (do not use butter, margarine or liquid vegetable oil). Spread the shortening so that all indentations are
covered. Sprinkle about 2 Tablespoons flour inside pan
and shake so that flour covers all greased surfaces. Turn 'r?a~ f//~ pan upside down and tap lightly to remove excess flour.
If any shiny spots remain, touch up with more shortening
and flour to prevent cake from sticking. (You can use
vegetable oil pan spray or vegetable oil pan spray with flour, in place of solid shortening and flour, or useNew Wilton Cake Release, for perfect, crumb-free cakes!).
Make one 2-layer cake mix according to package or
recipe directions. Pour the cake batter into pan, and if ,,R
necessary, spread the batter around with a spatula to ,r
fill all areas of the pan evenly. Be careful not to touch pw:j:~. sides or bottom of pan. Bake cake on middle rack of 350°F oven for 30-40 minutes or until cake tests done according to recipe directions.
Remove cake from oven and cool on cake rack for 10 minutes. \Mile the cake is still in the pan, carefully slice
off the raised center portion of the cake. This allows the cake to sit more level and helps prevent cracking. To remove cake from pan, place cooling rack against cake and turn both cake rack and pan over. Lift pan off carefully. Cool cake at least one hour. Brush loose crumbs off cake.
To transfer cake to serving board, hold a cake board against cake and turn both cake and rack over. Lift off rack. Hold another board against bottom of cake and turn cake over. Be sure to hold cake, rack and board close together while turning to prevent cake from cracking.
Using Parchment Bags
Parchment bags made from parchment paper triangles give you more versatility and the convenience of one-time use. Follow package directions. To "pipe-in" using a cut parchment bag, cut the point of the bag to desired opening.
Decorating With Wilton Icings
Wilton Frosting Mix: You will need 2-3 packages of Creamy White Icing Mix. To prepare, follow package directions. Each package makes about 2 cups icing. Excellent for tinting any shade required. If you're using another type of frosting mix, you will need three 15.4 oz. packages of the creamy vanilla type that will frost two 8 in. or 9 in. layers. For each package of frosting mix, use four less teaspoons water than package directs. Each package makes about 1 3/4 cups icing. Do not refrigerate icing before decorating. Cake may be refrigerated after it is iced.
Wilton Ready-to-Use Decorator's Icing: You will need approximately 2-3 cans of our delicious white icing. Each 16.5 oz. can holds about 2 cups. It's ideal for all of your decorating needs –frosting, decorating and flower making.
Making Buttercream Icing
The thick, but creamy texture of this flavorful icing makes it ideal for decorating*. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using. YIELD: 3 CUPS.
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening 1/2 cup butter or margarine
4 cups (1 lb.) sifted confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons milk
1 tsp. Wilton Clear Vanilla Extract
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
*To thin for icing cake, add a small amount of fight can syrup.
Coloring Your Icing
Wilton Icing Colors are best for decorating because they are concentrated and give the deepest, most vivid icing colors. Use a toothpick to swirl icing color into icing, then mix well. Add color gradually until you get the icing color you desire.
Let's Practice Decorating
Use decorating bag and coupler as directed in this booklet. Practice each of the following techniques on the back of a cookie sheet with white icing. The practice decorations can be scraped off the cookie sheet back into the mixing bowl and rewhipped for use again. To hold bag while decorating, curl fingers
around bag with the end twist locked between your thumb and index finger. This forces the icing down into the tip each time you squeeze. Apply an even pressure with all four fingers and icing will come out of the tip until you stop squeezing. As you decorate, periodically twist the bag down further, forcing the icing down into the tip. Use fingers of other hand to guide as you decorate. For more about decorating, refer to the Wilton Yearbook of Cake Decorating.
Icing Smooth With A Spatula .,, --
With a spatula, place icing on cake. Spread icing over ,,,0rr!!'
area to be covered. For a smooth effect, run spatula lightly over the icing in the same direction, blending it in for an even look. For a fluffy effect, swirl icing into peaks using the edge of the spatula.
To Make Outlines
Use tip 3. Hold bag at a 45° angle and touch tip to surface. Squeeze at starting point so that icing sticks to surface. Nowraise the tip slightly andcontinue to squeeze. The icing will flow out of the tip while you direct it along surface. To end an outline, touch tip back to surface, stop squeezing and pull away. If icing ripples, you are squeezing bag too hard. If icing outline breaks, you are moving bag too quickly or icing is too thick.
To Outline & Pipe-In
After outlining, using the same tip. squeeze out rowsof lines to fill area. Pat icing down with fingertip dipped in cornstarch or smooth with dampened art brush.
To Make Stars
Use tip 16. Hold bag straight up and down (see illustration) with tip 1/8 in. above surface. Squeeze until a star is formed, then stop pressure and pull tip
away. Your stars will be neatly formed only if you ,/~
stop squeezing before you pull the tip away. a `'
To Write or Print
Use tip 3. Hold bag at a 45° ° angle to surface of cake ,
with bag toward your right so that fingers face you , j-(see illustration). As you write or print, always work
from left to right. To write, squeeze out icing with a s. steady, even pressure as you glide tip along surface in a smooth continuous motion. Keep wrist straight; use your arm, not your fingers to form each line, letter or word. Tip should lightly touch cake at all times. To print, touch tip to surface and then raise tip slightly as you continue to squeeze. The icing will flow out of the tip while you direct it along surface. Stop squeezing and touch tip to surface to end each stroke of printed letter, then lift tip and pull away.
To Make Rosettes
Use tip 21. Hold decorating bag straight up with tip 1 /8 in. above surface. Squeeze and hold tip in place
momentarily, then move tip around to the right using a J
short circular motion. Stop pressure just before reaching Top
original starting point and pull tip away. VIEW Ws-
To Make Zigzags
Use tip 3 or 21. Hold bag at a 45° angle with tip lightly touching surface. As you squeeze out icing with a steady, even pressure, move hand in a side-to-side motion for a zigzag effect. To end zigzag, stop pressure and pull tip away. Loose, overpiped zigzags are made following the
basic zigzag technique. As you move the tip in the side-to-side motion, vary the width of the zigzags and overpipe areas to create dimension. Cover the entire area, with no background showing.
To Make Zigzag Puffs
Use tip 12 or 21. Hold bag at a 45° angle to surface, fingertips on bag facing you. Touch tip to surface and use a light-to-heavy-to-light pressure and zigzag motion to form puff. Repeat procedure again and again as you move tip in a straight line to form row of puffs. To end
row, stop pressure, pull tip away. ~.q.
To Make Dots
Use tip 3. Hold bag at 90° angle with tip almost touching surface. jib Steadily squeeze out a dot of icing, lifting the bag slightly and
keeping tip in icing as it builds up into a small mound. Then stop
pressure and pull tip away. Vary size of dots by lengthening the OGYJOCO amount of time you apply pressure to the bag. TOPVIEW
