Duo Colour Icing Kit - 6 Nozzles and 8 Piping Bags

This took me a few attempts to get the hang of it. Think I had my icing slightly too stiff but once I got the hang of it the effects were stunning. Would recommend.

I would not recommend this product. I followed the instructions and the nozzle did not screw on tight enough. Icing oozed out everywhere. threw it straight in the bin!

I used this for the first time today and was disappointed but.... Firstly I always do large batches of cupcakes with large swirls, this set is not suitable for that, but would probably be ok for small buns with less icing, for children perhaps. However baring in mind the price the expectations should not be too high, for me the bag and the nozzles are far too small. I would pay a higher price for a better quality product which was more robust, because I think the idea is brilliant. I will continue to use it for small children's buns.

I bought this as I was challenged to produce 50 cupcakes for my daughter's birthday, with icing. I'd never done icing before and because she wanted dual colours I found, quite by chance in the shop, this kit. Amazing. It was so easy; the bags were a breeze to use, and my cakes looked quite professional (though I do say so myself) - I was seriously impressed. And at the price, even better - no wasted money either. Thank you Lakeland.

Filling this was a nightmare. I tried by resting bag in a basin, but no luck, still couldn't fill evenly. When I finally manage to get the icing in, icing bag poised over cupcake....whoosh....out it shot from the sides of the nozzle. Gave up and iced cakes the normal way. Really sad as it looked a brilliant idea. Is there a step by step video for the bewildered?

I purchased this to ice some cupcakes last weekend. I wish I had taken notice of the review. It is so difficult to use and I couldn't get both colours to come out together, so ended up with a swirly mess on top of the cupcakes. Fortunately they did last delicious. It is also extremely difficult to fill, you seriously need two pairs of hands. I am a great believer in Lakeland and have been a customer for many years, this is definitely not upto their usual standard.

After some fantastic help from Lakeland customer service I had my first go with the duo icing kit today. I worked out how to attach everything and filled the bag. This is where it went wrong. Icing came from the top and then forced the bag from the nozzel. I believe I had over filled the bag and that the icing was too thick. Next time I will use about half the quantity on each side and maybe a looser mix. Looking forward to round 2

I was very dubious about this set having read such mixed reviews, however I was very pleased after using it. I make and decorate cakes to sell, so the finish must look professional and I must say it certainly did. On first glance I did think the nozzles looked cheap, however after trying the nozzles, they certainly weren't as bad as I was expecting and worked fine. I found the flower nozzle worked best for me for the swirl on top of my cupcakes as it gave a more defined look however that is my personal preference. Great set for the price. Would have paid more if the set had metal nozzles.

Icing's not my strong point so I took plenty of time and exercised great care and was extremely amazed with the results. I too didn't have any instructions so gathered all my information from these reviews. Yes it's fiddly to assemble. I softened my buttercream with extra milk and spooned it in a teaspoon at a time alternate sides, placing the piping bag in a jug for support. The divider tip does look a bit delicate as another reviewer has said. Trim the piping bag tip gradually until you get the tightest fit to prevent any icing oozing. Not something to be done if you are short of time!

i had just ordered theses then decided to read the reviews i nearly cancelled the order just tried it out whipped up mascarpone cheese wit icing sugar wow perfect i had no problems at all piped out lovely two colours perfect sent a photo to my daughter have to order another kit now for her i am very pleased with it love it

This is the first time I have ever been disappointed with a Lakeland product. I found it difficult to get the icing in to each side of the bag, I got covered in icing out of the top, and the end result was very unsatisfactory. I bake a lot and my cakes have never looked like a child iced them before! I shall go back to my normal Lakeland silicone icing bag, with a huge sense of disappointment.

I bought this set thinking it would make my life easier, having been duo icing for some time using one normal bag, I saw the duo bag and nozzles and decided it would make life a lot easier, how wrong I was. Even though my buttercream is very smooth and easy to pipe the finish I am getting is far from professional and looks like a child has been decorating my cakes. It has also on occasions 'exploded the icing all over the place'. This set is now relegated to the back of the cupboard and I have gone back to my original way using the one bag method.

was looking forward to using this for the first time but what a letdown. I followed instructions that were in online reviews (why arent there instructions with the actual product on filling, if its so vital to the performance, rather than having to log on and read online reviews??) my buttericng was soft & smooth, I spooned it in evenly each side but was a complete failure. Looked nothing like images on website and I would never in a million years admit I was responsible for decorating the cakes! (normally my efforts get lots of compliments at charity cake sales). I love lakeland but not t

I have been creating multi tone icings for years, so was excited to find Lakeland had created what I thought would be a simpler way to achieve the same results. I was very wrong. It was extremely messy, and to have the icing soft enough to not give myself a hernia trying to pipe it, meant that it was too soft to achieve the desired result. The limited cheap plastic nozzles are also a let down. Sorry Lakeland, this is the only thing I've ever bought from you that I've been disappointed in. I shall be returning to my old way of creating multi tone icing, which I also think looks better.

I wish I had bought this kit instead of the larger one. The largerer bags are massive, and will not be used. Much better to purchase this set as I have heard great reviews from people who have purchased it

I was a little sceptical about this kit but purchased it on offer and used it yesterday for the first time - what a joy to use. I found it easy to put together and to actually pipe. Tried it with buttercream and with icing. Although it worked well with both, buttercream definitely gave the best results. I am going to try it with coloured meringues next time round and look forward to experimenting. I found the small bag a trifle too small but am sure the larger bags will turn out to be just what I need - what a great tool and a joy to use!

I am really pleased with this product! When I was making a tractor birthday cake for my little boy I decided to use it to pipe milk and dark chocolate buttercream "furrows" for the tractor to stand on. I was a bit frustrated at this point, as I had not taken enough care over the consistancy of the buttercream, so therefore I did run into trouble like other reviewers said. However, spreaking only for oneself, a machine is only as good as the opperater!

i bought this a whle ago and only recently got round to using it! being a huge Lakeland fan I was disappointed with this product. It needs the icing to be quite runny to work through the nozzles so it doesn't hold it's shape. The end result is very poor looking! The nozzles are very basic and are not well made. It is a cheap product so can't really moan about the cheap quality! I won't be using this again for any of my baking but it might be a nice novelty item to use with the kids.

I found the kit easy to use and the results were really good, but I have one recommendation, the outside of the bag is quite slippery it would be really great if they were made of the same stuff as the 'Get A Grip Icing Bags' which are just great and so easy to handle even when full of butter icing.

I got this for my birthday and I was very keen to use it. I've now used this two times and both times the cupcakes look amazing and I've received many complements from friends and family. I do agree with other reviewers that it is a bit awkward to set up, but it's worth it!
