Need something like this for icing cupcakes, as piping bags hurt my hands. Has anyone used it for frosting? Dos it work well for that?

Yes, it works just fine for both frosting and for cookies. Use the stiff frosting, if you are making it.

I bought this specifically for frosting. I regret to inform you that after multiple attempts at icing cakes and cupcakes I gave up because it made such a mess. once you remove your finger off the button it continues to release frosting. I dont know maybe I have a defective one, I plan on buying a piping bag soon.

I don't know that Molly, but the appliance fell apart the first time I used. It's junk...

I don't see why not. Give it a try. I sued it for filling dainty pastries and it worked like a champ.

I used it to frost a 3 layer 10inch cake. It worked fine for me, I'm new to the decorating world.

I only use it for cupcake Batter, but Im sure if the filling isn't too hot, it should be fine. There is a rubber ring around the opening at the bottom, so if it's too hot it might melt it. But there's only one way to find out for sure. : )

I am not aware of liners for the giant cupcake. The frosting that you pipe or frost on looks like the liner when it is completed. I use a star tip and create the liner to match the occasion. Usually a # 18 , and drag the frosting up the sides. Looks really cute as a finished product.

I would definitely think that for cupcakes it would work. However, I'm not sure about brownies. When I was a kid, we made brownies from "scratch" and they were unbelievably thick. These I don't think would work, but if you're making something from a box mix, like a cake batter, I would think it would work. I am very happy with my dispenser :)

I have a cupcake business and use the bags for all our buttercream and cream cheese frosting and have not experienced any problems. We have re-ordered these 3 times.

yes. I used it for standard cupcakes bought from a bakery and they worked perfectly.

depends on how thick your chocolate is and how many cakes your topping with a drizzle.it is.not good for frosting. and if your chocolate is thin you have to move very fast.i find it good for drizzling four cakes but not for one.for one cake use i serving spoon.it saves time on clean up. it is great for filling cup cake tins regular or mini

it is thick - if too thick you can always add a little milk or water decorating frosting is pretty bland - just sweet tasting. Unless you have lots of cupcakes this is too much frosting - try the local grocery

You don't need a plastic holder but you can't decorate without tips. Frosting would just come out in an unattractive blob or thin writing line depending how much you cut off. I just cut to fit the tips dropping it down to check before adding frosting. One bag will frost 24 cupcakes or a 9" cake if you use a large wedding cake size star tip. Frosting, whipped cream, chocolate....the bags are strong without tearing.

Without a coupler & tip, you might as well just use a knife to spread the frosting on. But for a professional looking cupcake, go with a coupler & a tip

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!!

Im not sure I used mine on royal icing but they are pretty stiff when they are peeled of the paper and they soften up when placed on cookies or cakes.

I don't think I'd try frosting in this. I'd stick to more liquidy products, such as eggs for french toast, pancakes, whipped cream, etc. The beaters are a good grade plastic with plastic gears to turn the beaters but this is by no stretch of the imagination, heavy duty. If I needed a manual beater that was more heavy duty, I'd go for the old fashioned stainless steel egg beater, which I also have and love, but it IS a lot of work, smiles.

I have only used it for ice. There's a delicacy called 'lady fingers' a kind of bread stick. Might work.

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

No I don't think so. If you don't frost it, you could force it into the cup. Not really for a cupcake
