Cake bag

Professional pastry bags for cream are an indispensable tool in the work of a pastry chef, professional or amateur, as well as any cook. The Supermarket for confectioners VTK offers a wide range of this reliable and high-quality equipment for decorating pastries and other desserts and dishes. This piece of utensil is used in the manufacture of sweets: for icing, for cupcakes or for meringue, and when interacting with other products - for example, mayonnaise, cream cheese, curd mass, pates.

• Single or reusable;

Exist different sizes: large, medium, small (they can be trimmed).

Cheap confectionery bags: how to choose

A disposable pastry bag is often preferred by home crafters for its affordable price. Polyethylene or silicone is cheaper, impregnated paper is more expensive; both those and others are deformed after a single use. Such bags are easy to use: they are disposed of after use, do not need care. Can be sold with or without nozzles; while the tips can be reused.

Disposable cream bags can be bought anywhere, their main advantages are price and availability. The disadvantage is the inconvenience in working with the dough (for example, for profiteroles) - it is not easy to regulate the amount of outgoing dough.

Finding the right and convenient reusable cream bag is more difficult. It can be made of silicone or impregnated fabric, equipped with a variety of nozzles: different in diameter and shape of the hole, intended for icing, dough or cream. The disadvantage of this type is the need for care, washing and drying (VTK sells devices for drying silicone and fabric "cones"). Attachment method of nozzles - internal or external, there are adapters.

Pastry bag: buy in Russia

It is easier to buy a professional pastry bag where there is a large selection and all types of products are in stock.

These are not deformed as a result of boiling and drying, are protected from divergence of seams, dry quickly, and are easy to clean from product residues.

It is very convenient to be able to properly make a cornet with your own hands, especially if there is no ready-made pastry bag at hand.

How to make a pastry bag at home

Take the paper by the upper left corner and fold it at an angle of 90 °. Cut off the folded triangle along the fold.

The remaining half is also folded and cut along the fold.

Here we have two triangles.

In order for the cornet to turn out to be larger or smaller, you must select the paper size accordingly. The wider the paper, the more cornet you will get. I have paper 28 cm wide. For the convenience of further explanation, I marked the corners with numbers: 1, 2, 3.

I turned the paper triangle over so that the numbers are out, but the paper is translucent and clearly visible. Hold the paper at corner 2, with corner 1 on your left. We take corner 3 and connect it with corner 2, as shown in the photo and do not let go, we fix it with our left hand. Pay attention to the tip of the future cornet. It should be sharp if you folded it correctly.

Now we take corner 1, wrap a cornet in it and connect corner 1 with corner 2, but not from the inside, like corner 3, but from the outside.

Here is such an assembled cornet I get: all the corners are connected and a sharp tip.

And this is what a handmade pastry bag looks like from the other side.

Now, fix all three corners connected at the top. You should not rush here, carefully bend the top of the corners twice and fix the bends.

That's all. Cornets are ready. It remains for us to fill them with the desired content and cut off the tip of the required size.

For the manufacture you will need parchment paper, which is used for baking. Plain paper is not suitable because it gets wet and tears quickly.

Bend the top edges down a little so that the cone does not fall apart. There should not be a hole at the bottom. First fill the cone with cream, and then cut off the tip.

fabric bag

For manufacturing, a dense fabric is needed so that the cream does not penetrate into the small holes between the fibers. Cut a triangle out of it and sew a cone. The seam should be outside, then it will not clog with cream. Sew a nozzle into the bag plastic bottle or separately purchased in the store.
