Tala Icing Syringe Set in A Tin, with Six Nozzles and Icing Booklet

Firstly, I should probably say that when I ordered this I had never used a piping bag before - never really iced anything before to be honest. So when I say this was easy to use, that's coming from a complete novice. The tin is a bit flimsy although sufficient for storage of the contents after use and would present well as a gift. The booklet inside was not that informative in terms of using the piping set itself but I managed to ice 24 cupcakes without too many problems after just a couple of minutes practice so instructions are not really needed.This review doesn't sound that positive so far when considering the 5 star rating. Well, here comes the positive part ..... this is genuinely great fun! Opening the tin with it's cute design makes this feel just like a little girl's toy. Choosing the nozzle and trying out the different patterns was really cool. The practice was messy and some of the initial results were truly tragic! I had a great time making the mess and I was able to make a presentable cupcake really quickly.I'd recommend as a gift or as a starter kit or just if you fancy trying out different nozzles without purchasing higher priced equipment. Probably not going to suit anyone looking for a professional quality set but I loved it. Make cupcakes all the time now just so I can play with this set.

This icing bag set is a great starter kit for any decorative icing. The piping bag itself is strong and sturdy, made of a plastic coated reasonably thick cloth. The internal part of the bag has the plastic coating, making it easy to use and clean, while the outside is cloth, making it easy to grip and hold.The set comes with eight nozzles (numbers 2, 4, 24, 30, 59, 67, 98, 104), all of which have reasonably small openings, so they are good for icing decorations, but maybe not other piping bag functions. They give a good range of shapes and effects.The small decorating booklet is very clear and gives some good ideas, hints and tips for those that have not done much icing before. It follows the same retro styling as the tin. The tin looks nice, with the same decorative retro style as other Tala products within this range. It is a sturdy tin and very useful for storing everything. It measures 17cm (width) x 13cm (depth) x 6cm (height). The tin comes with a flocked plastic insert which holds all of the different components neatly. You can remove this however to get more storage space for other piping equipment that you might have.Overall, a very nice kit.

Difficult to find the correct equipment to replace an old icer, but this one did the trick. Nicely presented. Perhaps a bit pricey for what it is, but....

I had my last Tala icing set for at least 20 years, so needed to upgrade, it is just like the old set but now fits nicely in a box to keep it all together

I had high hopes that this icing set would be as good as my previous set which I had used successfully for about twenty years.The quality was nowhere near as good.Not bad if using very soft icing or cream but poor results with firm icing - squelching out at the sides!

Brilliant little set, wanted a steel piping set rather than bag, this was perfect, great that it comes in its own tin, and I managed to find other original Tala nozzles too that fit perfectly. Thought at first it wouldn't hold enough but it held a lot more than I expected and piped perfectly. Very pleased with it.

I tried a lot of different types of syringe before and I always had some issues with them. Now I bought this and I think I find the best one finally. Nice material, it does not leak anywhere, perfect size and easy to clean.

For years I have used one of these metal Cake icing syringes. I still have the one my Mum had and which I have used for nearly 50 years. My daughter has just started icing cakes and was not happy using icing bags so I bought her this kit. I’m hoping it will last her at least 50 years too!! It’s eco friendly unlike the bags which are not recycleable. So good for the planet!!
