A method for fitting a piping nozzle (1) or a part of a piping nozzle (1) in a piping bag (2) comprises placing the piping nozzle (1) in an initial position (3), which initial position (3) is situated at a substantial distance from a piping position (5) located in the piping bag (2), using a piping nozzle applicator (4), which is movable between the initial position (3) and the piping position (5), to releasably engage with the piping nozzle (1) at the initial position (3), using the piping nozzle applicator (4) to bring the piping nozzle (1) from the initial position (3) substantially to the piping position (5) in the piping bag (2), releasing the piping nozzle (1) from the piping nozzle applicator (4) at the piping position (5), and pulling the piping nozzle applicator (4) back from the piping position (5).
