If you’ve ever tried to neatly fill cupcake liners, pipe pancake batter, or drizzle melted chocolate, you know how quickly things can get messy. That’s where the confectionery funnel comes in—a handy kitchen tool designed for accurate, mess-free pouring of batters, creams, sauces, and more. Whether you’re a home baker or a professional pastry chef, this simple gadget can take your sweet creations to the next level.
What Is a Confectionery Funnel?
A confectionery funnel (also called a batter funnel or dosing funnel) is a funnel-shaped kitchen tool with a trigger or valve that lets you control the flow of liquid or semi-liquid mixtures. It’s perfect for dispensing everything from cake batter and ganache to sauces and glazes with minimal mess and maximum precision.
They often come with multiple nozzle sizes and are made from stainless steel or food-grade plastic for durability and easy cleaning.
