Filling Multicolored Piping Bags

Whether you are creating flowers with just a hint of another color or bright multicolored swirls and rosettes, adding more than one color to your piping bags instantly adds depth and visual interest. Head into the kitchen with cake designer Rachael Teufel as she shares her techniques for filling up those piping bags with two or more colors without using any special tools or couplers.

First, Rachael walks you though two different methods to filling a piping bag with two colors. Then she shows you how to create a three-tone bag with an easy plastic wrap method. Also included are tips on holding a pastry bag properly and cutting piping bags to hold tips without impeding the design.

After you fill up a bag, head over to “Piping Flowers with Russian Tips” or “Decorating Summer-Themed Cupcakes” to check out some designs that incorporate multicolored piping bags.
