Works great and cupcakes look like store bought

This worked so much better than I anticipated. I was honestly a little skeptical about using this, but the frosting decorations came out looking so professional and I have never frosted anything before. I just watched a Youtube video and I sort of improvised as I went. The entire set is made of hard plastic, including the tips, so I would be careful with dropping them on the floor or banging them on the counter. There is quite a bit of frosting that gets left behind between the tip and the blade that pushes the frosting down. Also, in the beginning, I was filling the frosting from the top of the tube, which would get rather messy. Instead, I recommend twisting open the bottom of the tube, near the tip, and filling the frosting from there. I think I should have read some of the other reviews first. Great tips already on there. Also love that everything can be taken apart for easy cleaning and they are all dishwasher safe.

Useful and time-saving!

This was remarkably easy to use and clean. I thought it might be a pain in the butt. I bought it to quickly frost mini cupcakes, but I also used it to fill the mini muffin pan cavities. One thing to note--I used a very thick frosting that contained a significant portion of melted white chocolate--I found I had to tap the tool on the counter as I filled it in order to get the frosting all the way into the tube and eliminate air bubbles. To do this, I found it easiest to use the tip that is smooth on the edges. I switched to the flower tip partway through, only to find I couldn't tap it on the counter anymore to get the thick frosting to settle at the bottom. Surprisingly useful for baking!

Love this! Must have for homemade cake decorating!

I love this so much! I made a beautiful homemade Barbie birthday cake and this icing gun made it possible. I highly recommend this product!

So easy to use!

I used this to make my daughters birthday cake.This was my first time making and decorating a cake. I made buttercream frosting using the Wilton recipe. This thing was super easy to use. I feel like it holds a decent amount of frosting and it’s very easy to refill. I can’t wait for my daughter to see her cake!!

Great buy!

Made cupcake decorating so much easier! The cupcakes came out so beautiful and I didn't need a piping bag to do it. Definitely a must have for beginner bakers!

PERFECT for filling deviled eggs & is very easy to use with only 1 hand!

I have the use of only 1 hand, so find it very challenging to properly control and squeeze a piping bag, so although I no longer even attempt to decorate cakes, I do make deviled eggs, and find it difficult to fill them with a piping bag without risking making a huge mess of the filling gushing out of the top, or running out of the tip "without authorization" so decided to give this tool a try. I LOVE it! It's extremely easy to handle and use with only 1 hand. 1 full press of the plunger's thumbpress thingy dispenses the exact amount to generously fill a deviled egg, and the tube holds the perfect amount to generously fill 12 deviled egg halves, which is also how many fit in each of my Snap & Store egg carrier trays, so I can generously & consistently fill each tray with confidence that I will not under or overfill as I go along doing the entire huge batch of deviled eggs.While I am sure that it would also work fine for doing simple stars in decorator frosting, I do not think It would provide the fine steady control one needs for piping shell borders and writing, so if you have 2 hands to properly use & control a piping bag, you should use a piping bag for good cake decorating, but this is the PERFECT tool for filling deviled eggs! It did take me several minutes to fill up the tube fully & without gaps of air bubbles, but I didn't mind that at all because the ease of filling my eggs once the tube was filled up more than made up for that.

Great investment

I have two diseases which makes it difficult for me to put a lot of pressure on my hands, therefore traditional piping bags leave me with aching hands. This tool made it 100% easier to frost cupcakes. It's really not that difficult to fill once you get the hang of it (put a little frosting in with a rubber spatula, then press toward the end, then repeat). The whole thing comes apart so it is super easy to clean. It works so easily with barely any pressure, but not so easily that one would spill the frosting from the tip. What a great kitchen gadget!

it was easy to use

I'm not really a baker. I bought this for my sons first birthday. I made cupcakes and used this to frost all of them. They came out well. I've never tried to frost cupcakes with anything other than a knife. It was a pain to get the frosting in but once it's in there, it was easy to use. The more I use it, the easier it gets. I also recommend washing it as soon as you're done. There are some spots that are difficult to reach.

the Wilton Dessert Decorator is amazing. You can now say good-bye to messy pastry ...

In summary, the Wilton Dessert Decorator is amazing. You can now say good-bye to messy pastry bags and tips. At under $10, this is such a bargain! I also love that you can use it not only for desserts, but for deviled eggs as well. The Decorator not only decorates the tops of cupcakes, but also has an injector tip so you can inject filling inside cupcakes. After testing it out on a batch of chocolate cupcakes, my five-year-old son said, "Wow! Those look like the cupcakes from the bakery." And he was right. I am not a particular excellent cupcake decorator and most of the time my creative culinary efforts turn into Pinterest-fails. It is incredible to find an affordable tool that makes it so easy. The Decorator is BPA-free and so easy to use and clean-up. The directions were simple and assembly took about a minute. With the variety of included tips, you can create ribbons, leaves, roses and so much more. The plunger really pushes the frosting down the tub, making for no waste and easy clean-up. A few tips: You might find you need more than one can of frosting to frost a batch of cupcakes, as the Decorator will create fluffier frosting creations than using a knife. I would also recommend putting the frosting in the Decorator tube when it is room temp /slightly liquefied, and then refrigerate it while the cake bakes to get to right frosting consistency. This makes it easier to get in the tube. I also found a very narrow rubber spatula worked fine as well. I love this product and I will be using it exclusively for cakes, cupcakes and deviled eggs from now on.

a life-saver... and a lot of fun to use!

This product is awesome! I wanted to provide gourmet cupcakes for a bridal shower, but I had never piped icing before. Ever. So I bought this and in the months leading up to the shower, I made a four practice rounds. I'm sharing the pics from the shower, which was only my fifth time using this product (or any piping tool for that matter!). I personally found that it worked best to insert the icing from the tip end with a very skinny silicone spatula. When I inserted from the non-tip end, I got more air bubbles. Make sure you pack the icing (I used buttercream) tightly or you will get air bubbles and it won't look as nice. This product worked fabulously! So easy! I love, love, love it and will use it every chance I get! The button that you push with your thumb gives you ultimate control to have a steady speed for the best consistency and finished look. Cleanup is a breeze and you don't have to worry about running out of bags. UPDATE: After using it about 10 times over 5 months, the threading around the top of the clear plastic tube cracked the whole way around and fell off.
