Scoop your frosting into the bag. If you can find a small bowl to wrap the open top of the bag over, that will make filling much easier. Spoon frosting into bag until about 3/4 full.
Seal the bag and use scissors to snip a small corner off the bottom of the bag. Squeeze the bag from the sealed top to push the frosting out the cut opening in the bottom of the bag. Pipe directly onto your cupcake or dessert. The bag can be refilled as many times as needed.
3. Using zip lock bag as a funnel :
Piping delicious frosting isn’t the only function of filling a resealable bag and snipping off a corner. Using the same trick the bag can be used as an emergency funnel for dry good or liquids.
Depending of what you’re funneling, and the opening size of the receptacle, you can cut off more or less from the corner to get the right flow for your application.

When you hastily grab your phone to check a recipe the gunk from your fingers will land on the phone screen, nearly seeping into the speaker and damaging your favourite kitchen companion.
