Piping Bags

Piping Bags are essential tools for precise cake decorating, pastry work and dessert finishing in professional kitchens, bakeries and cafes. This range covers reusable cotton and nylon piping bags, silicone pastry bags and high-volume disposable rolls and packs in multiple sizes. Ideal for icing cakes, filling pastries and plating desserts, they give chefs accurate control over flow and detail. Durable construction and food-safe materials help maintain hygiene standards while supporting fast, consistent service in busy Irish hospitality operations.

How to choose the right Piping Bags

• Decide between reusable and disposable piping bags based on your volume of decorating and preference for quick cleanup versus long-term value.
• Select bag length carefully; smaller 28cm to 40cm bags suit fine detail work, while 50cm to 70cm options are better for large cakes and bulk piping.
• Consider material type, choosing cotton, nylon or silicone for durability and comfort, or heavy-duty disposable bags for high-throughput production.
• Match bag strength and thickness to your fillings, using stronger bags for stiff buttercream, choux pastry or mashed potato.
• Check compatibility with your existing nozzles and couplers to ensure a secure fit and consistent piping results.
• Plan storage and workflow, keeping spare bags and bulk packs on hand for peak service in bakeries, hotels and restaurants.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse reusable piping bags immediately after use to prevent icing, chocolate or cream from hardening inside the bag.
• Wash cotton, nylon and silicone bags in warm, soapy water or a suitable dishwasher cycle, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Allow reusable bags to dry fully inside and out before storage to avoid mould, odours and contamination.
• Inspect reusable bags regularly for splits, weakened seams or staining and replace any that could compromise hygiene.
• Store both reusable and disposable piping bags in a clean, dry container away from direct heat and strong odours.
• Use disposable bags once only and dispose of them responsibly to maintain food safety and kitchen hygiene standards.
