How to make a piping bag

As much as I love baking, I am cautious when it comes to expenses. I am always willing to spend more on higher quality ingredients as they go into making pastries which my family and friends eat. However, I try to control my other more superficial urges for baking items which I do not use often, e.g. a piping bag.

It is easy to make your own piping bag - just use a plastic bag or baking paper. I recommend using a plastic bag as you can secure the sides easily with tape. Some baking/wax paper might be tricky as tape will not hold and you have to use staples. The illustrated steps below are doing using a sheet of baking paper as it is clearer in pictures.

Mashed Potato Recipe

Mashed potatoes are great side dishes which are overlooked in the greater scheme of things, i.e. when paired with sirloin steak you would probably focus all your attention on the meat.

I love a good mashed potato which can stand alone as a main. No other sauces are needed. Just plain old creamy goodness.
