could I use these for frosting?

Getting the frosting in the bottle would be the only trick, but it's totally possible. Since you can cut the tips at any thickness you could certainly use these for frosting!!

In theory yes. Depends on how thick. You can cut the applicator tip to the width you'll need.

No. The tops are not able to take the pressure. They would pop off when squeezed.

Don't use these for frosting. Buy a pastry bag and tips. This will give you the most control over frosting. Buy 1 big bag for boarders and one small bag for writing. I am sure amazon sells a kit.

You can, but it will water it down a bit. The gel version is better for tinting frosting.

I don't think they can be baked in. The glass doesn't seem heat proof. I would also be careful about freezing for any length of time. They come with recipe cards that contain only refrigerated desserts, so that's all I would do.

It would depend on the type of cake that you make. Frosting them I found was pretty tough and tedious. The next time I'm going to make poured frosting. That would be my best suggestion.

Sure you can use cake mix! I actually use them for cheesecake.You can get very creative.

They're small enough that you probably could and theys rent heavy. I used them for my daughters 3rd birthday party to put jewelry in for the girls. You may be fine with hot glue since they're so light. Good luck!

We apologize but we do not think it will work out very well. Due to the thickness of the frosting, it may be difficult to push the syringe plunger in and push out the frosting. However, this is only an assumption, it may work better than expected.

I have never used it for this, but I think it would be fine. You can put them in the oven.

I guess you could but not really sure. They are just little wax blocks so I suppose you could melt them in the oven and the end result would be the same but I've never done it that way.

I tested mine with granulated sugar. It work with a little less than a cup. Frosting should be the same.

I cannot answer your question about whether these can be used in making sugar work or caramel toffee. Sorry.

I have friends that use them for baking. Just be aware that they are rather limber and if you're not careful you will spill. I've only used them for making soap on a flat surface.

I used these without the couplers a few times. I didn't have an issue with the frosting being pushed out through the bag. But store-bought frosting is kind of soft (I think it's meant more for frosting/covering cakes plainly), so the shape of the tips won't look as sharp and crisp. Homemade buttercream frosting is stiffer and more suitable for decorating, I think.

I don't see why not. They withstand temps over 600F. I know that I can hold something right out of the oven for a long period of time.

I would imagine that you could. I use it for my meringue cookies. A little goes a long way.

No I don't think so - I would not use them for cake - they are flat.. may 2 jumbo cookies - I guess it would depend on the cake.

I would think it would work just fine. It just needs to be sat on top of icing/frosting. It is basically like an edible sheet of paper, and I would think that you could even trim it up if needed.
