I did a mini cake show with the prep bowls and everybody had a blast (adults and kids). I demostrated how easy it was to fill the bottles with the Bismarck Tip, how easy it was to make mini microwavable cakes in the prep bowls, and how easy it was to use the serrated bread knife to trim off the excess cake so I could set my prep bowls flat on the cooling rack to cool before decorating This really boosted my sales and I got a lot of bookings. I know what works for some, doesn't work for others, but I wanted to share 
To fill decorator bottles with liquids, first remove the cap and any inner seal. Use a funnel to pour the liquid into the bottle, ensuring not to overfill. Leave some space at the top to allow for expansion and to prevent spills when replacing the cap. Once filled, securely replace the cap and store the bottle upright.
Yes, you can use decorator bottles for thick sauces, but it's recommended to use a funnel with a wider opening to accommodate the thicker consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you may need to thin it slightly with a bit of water or oil to make it easier to pour.
Decorator bottles are versatile and can be used for a variety of liquids, including oils, vinegars, dressings, sauces, and even syrups. Just ensure that the liquid is compatible with the material of the bottle and that it can be stored safely.
To clean decorator bottles, wash them with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush to remove any residue. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap remains. For a deeper clean, you can soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water. Allow the bottles to air dry completely before filling them.
Yes, you can decorate the bottles after filling them, but it's best to wait until the contents have settled to avoid spills. You can use labels, ribbons, or paint to personalize your bottles. Just ensure that any decorations do not interfere with the bottle's functionality or safety.
