Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A neat alternative to a messy decorator bag, this ingenious device squeezes out ornamental frostings and whipped cream for adding professional touches to sweets and converts vegetable purees into appetizing shapes. It's also great for creating pretty hors d'oeuvres out of cream cheese blends, chicken-liver mousse, and other savories. Five nozzles in different shapes come with the plastic decorator ball: closed star, open star, line thread, shell, and filler tube. The nozzles twist tightly into the ball's seal, which is virtually airtight and leak-proof. The seal is rigid and the ball's bottom is pliable. Squeezing the bottom extrudes contents in a controlled flow--and, unlike a bag, requires only one hand, leaving the other free to manipulate whatever's being decorated. The nozzles store inside the 4-1/4-inch-diameter ball, which has a cap so leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator. Virtually unbreakable and dishwasher-safe, Tupperware carries a lifetime warranty against chipping, cracking, breaking, and peeling. --Fred Brack

Complete waste of money,
By dnd517 "Diane" (Woolwich Township, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tupperware 7-Piece Gourmet Decorator Ball Set (Kitchen)
This product is a great idea, but it just doesn't work. The container has to be completely full in order for it to work at all. The amount of force you have to use in order to decorate just one cookie is enough to wipe you out. I love that you can store the left over ingredients right inside and that the different tips can store inside when you are through, but the actual decorating is just too much work.

Great idea, just not great in practice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tupperware 7-Piece Gourmet Decorator Ball Set (Kitchen)
I really wanted to like this little thing. The first thing I tried it on was deviled eggs, and it choked on the thick, herby mixture. Next I tried a chocolate ganache frosting, and that didn't work well either. The main problem with this is the amount of force necessary to constrict the blue ball part and shove the stuff through the tip--you do it _all_ by hand, basically, and though yes, it is very easy to switch tips and clean up and store and all that, and cheaper to use, it's _far_ more difficult to pipe out of this than out of either 1) a ziploc bag w/a decorating tip stuck in it and the corner snipped off, or 2) a real pastry bag (parchment in a pinch, or preferably cloth) with a coupler and tip. I've gone back to using my old bags and tip sets--the only thing I _do_ use this for, and probably will keep it for this and do recommend it for, is whipped cream. The cream pipes beautifully, and you don't have to contaminate your royal icing bag w/cream and then wash it everytime.

I love Tupperware, BUT...,
This review is from: Tupperware 7-Piece Gourmet Decorator Ball Set (Kitchen)
Maybe it's just me, but this little gadget just didn't work for me. I tried to decorate some cookies, but you have to have so much frosting in it to get it to come out smoothly, that it just doesn't work for little jobs. Plus, I found it kind of a mess cleaning it up. Maybe if I were frosting an entire cake and had the ball full of frosting it would have worked better. Too bad, because it's a great idea! I think the problem is that the ball is not flexible enough to work with small amounts of frosting. As with all Tupperware products, the quality of the plastic is very good--it just needs a little refinement.
