Cake Decorating Tip: Cleaning Frosting Tips and Couplers

Cleaning the frosting tips  and couplerswas one of the dreaded steps involved with cake decorating.  I used the tip cleaning brush but they always felt greasy and I could never get the frosting out from the threads of the coupler.

I cam across this idea:

• Clean out excess frosting from tips
• Place all tips and couplers in microwave safe plastic container (Gladware)
• Fill container with water making sure tips have at least an inch of water over tips
• Drop in couple drops Dawn Dish Detergent
• Microwave for 2 minutes
• Drain water
• Allow tips and couplers to air dry
