Riccle Disposable Piping Bags 12 Inch, 100 Anti Burst Pastry Bags Review (2026)

Who these piping bags are for

This pack suits bakers who already own their own tips and couplers and simply need a dependable supply of disposable piping bags, rather than a beginner looking for a complete decorating kit with tips included. The 12 inch size fits standard couplers and tips comfortably and holds a workable batch of frosting for a cake or a batch of cupcakes without needing constant refills mid project. It is a practical restock option for anyone who has gone through the disposable bags from a larger starter kit and wants a dedicated bag supply going forward. Bakers who pipe very large batches at once or run a higher volume operation may find the 12 inch size limiting compared with longer bags built for bigger jobs.

Material and anti-burst design

The bags are made from a food grade plastic that Riccle designs to be flexible yet thick enough to withstand the pressure of squeezing firm buttercream without splitting at the seam, which is the main failure point on thinner disposable bags. The exterior has a smooth, grippy texture that helps maintain hand control while squeezing, while the interior surface is designed to let icing flow freely toward the tip rather than sticking to the sides. Riccle states the bags work with all standard sizes of couplers and tips, so compatibility with an existing tip collection should not be an issue. As a disposable product, each bag is intended for single use, cut at the tip end and discarded after the batch is piped.

Using and disposing of the bags

In practice, snip the tip of the bag to the size needed for a coupler or insert a tip directly before filling, then twist or fold the open end to control pressure as you squeeze. Because the bags are single use plastic, expect to go through one bag per color or flavor during a decorating session, which adds up in both cost and waste compared with a washable silicone bag for bakers who decorate frequently. The anti burst claim is most relevant for stiffer icings like American buttercream, where thinner bags are more prone to splitting under firm hand pressure; softer icings and glazes put less strain on the bag material. For bakers uncomfortable with single use plastic, pairing a small number of reusable silicone bags with this pack for lighter jobs is a reasonable middle ground.

How it compares with other piping bag packs

Against the Baker Dozen 100 pack, which bundles a coupler and two ties alongside its heavy duty bags, this Riccle pack is a more bare bones bag only option at a similar price and quality tier. The 400 count tipless pack offers far more bags for bulk buyers or frequent decorators, though it drops the option to use standard tips without cutting a custom opening. Compared with the Wilton 100 count bags, which score slightly lower, this pack and its close Baker Dozen competitor both lean on the anti burst claim as their main differentiator for handling stiff icing.

Bottom line

This pack is a solid, no frills restock option for bakers who already have tips and couplers and want a reliable 12 inch disposable bag that holds up to firm buttercream. Consider the Baker Dozen pack instead if you want a coupler and ties bundled in, or the 400 count tipless pack if volume matters more than tip compatibility, and factor in the ongoing plastic waste of disposable bags if that is a concern for regular use. For a straightforward restock at a fair price, this pack does the one job it sets out to do without adding tools you may not need.
