A tip...for cleaning tips; of piping bags, that is.

This is what NOT to do when trying to clean parts of piping bags:

I got the wash cloth just a little too far into it, so I tried to just pull it all the way through. Bad idea. Not only did it not work, but I actually had to take my kitchen shears and cut the wash cloth to get it out of the tip!

Note to self: do not stick entire wash cloth through piping bag tips.

Lesson learned.
