Does anyone that has a set of these bottles know if regular pastry bag metal tips will fit these bottles? (like wilton tips) I have had several customers asking me if they can interchange them with ones they already have. If so this would make a great selling point for these (like we need one with them flying off the shelves already!)

Yes, they are standard size tips. I use it as a selling point that they can go to Wal-Mart and get other tips.

CLEANING TIP!!!! I'm so excited! I just had another kid's cooking class where we cut out/baked cookies and decorated them using the decorator set (I have 2 sets) and sprinkles... Anyways, easy as it is, I was dreading the clean up. But at the last minute I filled the sink with hot water and opened all the bottles (I had squished out as much frosting as I could), put the tip pieces in a bowl of warm water.... THE FROSTING SPILLED OUT easily!!! I had those babies cleaned out in minutes! I put them in the top shelf of my dishwasher to sanitize them ~ but that was soooo easy! So I wanted to share.

My Aunt plans to do her deviled eggs with them next party. Someone told me they are using them when letting her daughter make stuffed shells with her daughter...

They are so inexpensive!
 
anything you would use the EAD for these would be good for, especially when kids are helping. Perfect size for their little hands.
