For the Cakes

A 12-inch bag holds a modest amount of icing, which is often an advantage. Small batches of colored buttercream for borders, writing or a dozen cupcakes are easier to control in a short bag, and less icing is left behind when the color changes.Ateco’s Flex bags are nylon coated with polyurethane, a combination that stays supple in the hand and does not let icing seep through. A Flex bag has a softer feel and gives better control than a traditional plastic-coated cloth bag.For a full batch of buttercream, move up to the Flex 18-inch. The Flex 14-inch sits between the two.
