"That tapered top is perfect for decorating cakes, and the bottle is a firmer, easier vessel to squeeze and manipulate mess-free than a pastry bag. We love repurposing various kitchen items - it keeps waste out of landfills and also helps us avoid unnecessary spending. This hack in particular is a win-win: Enjoy your favorite condiments, then sustainably reuse their bottles, and allow those bottles to help you harness your inner pastry chef and decorate cakes like a pro."
"Some of the best, most essential sauces and condiments for your pantry come in squeeze bottles that lend themselves well to cake- or cookie-decorating, from ketchup and mustard to aiolis and hot sauces.

Condiment squeeze bottles can be cleaned and refilled with frosting, icing, syrup, or sauce to decorate cakes and cookies. The tapered tops and firm plastic bodies provide more control and less mess than flexible pastry bags. Reusing bottles prevents waste and reduces spending by repurposing common pantry packaging. Different bottle shapes suit different tasks: wider bottles like Hellman's mayonnaise work well for scalloping or larger buttercream designs, while narrow-tipped bottles such as Huy Fong sriracha are suited for fine lines and details. The process requires thorough cleaning before filling and allows home bakers to achieve professional-looking decoration with simple materials.
