A caddy for holding a pastry bag comprises a receptacle having an open end, a closed end, an internal surface connecting the open and closed ends, and a plurality of fins projecting from the internal surface of the receptacle toward a central longitudinal axis of the receptacle. The fins define a tapered framework of contact ridges for contacting the pastry bag to reduce the surface area of contact between the pastry bag and the internal surface of the receptacle. A container removably receives the receptacle and holds a heat transfer medium for surrounding an external surface of the receptacle.

1. A caddy for holding a pastry bag, the caddy comprising: a receptacle having an open end, a closed end, an internal surface connecting the open end and the closed end, and a central longitudinal axis;a plurality of fins projecting from the internal surface of the receptacle toward the central longitudinal axis, wherein each of the plurality of fins has a length in a direction of the central longitudinal axis, a height in a direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, and a thickness in a direction substantially orthogonal to the height and the length, at least two of said fins having said length greater than said height and said thickness;a flange arranged externally about the receptacle; anda container for removably receiving the receptacle, said receptacle and said container designed to enable said receptacle to be at least partially inserted into a cavity of said container and to be removed from said cavity of said container, said flange designed to overlap a rim of said container when said receptacle is removably positioned in said container;wherein the plurality of fins define a tapered framework of contact ridges for contacting the pastry bag to reduce a surface area of contact between the pastry bag and the internal surface of the receptacle. 2. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the height is greater than the thickness. 3. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the plurality of fins define a first fin portion wherein the respective contact ridges emerge from the internal surface and converge toward one another at a first linear rate as the plurality of fins extend longitudinally toward the closed end of the receptacle such that a distance from the contact ridges of said fins reduces as said fins approach the closed end of the receptacle. 4. The caddy of claim 1, wherein contact ridges of the plurality of fins are configured to prevent a dispensing end of the pastry bag from contacting the closed end of the receptacle. 5. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the plurality of fins meet the closed end of the receptacle. 6. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the respective contact ridges emerge from the internal surface of the receptacle at a location spaced longitudinally from the open end of the receptacle. 7. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the plurality of fins are integrally formed with the receptacle. 8. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the plurality of fins are angularly spaced about the central longitudinal axis at regular intervals. 9. The caddy of claim 8, wherein the plurality of fins includes at least three fins that are equally spaced apart from one another. 10. The caddy of claim 9, wherein the plurality of fins consists of exactly four fins that are equally spaced apart from one another. 11. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the receptacle is externally tapered from the open end to the closed end. 12. The caddy of claim 11, wherein the receptacle has a plurality of different external taper angles. 13. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the closed end of the receptacle is rounded. 14. A caddy for holding a pastry bag, said caddy comprising a receptacle and a container, said container having a cavity designed to at least partially receive said receptacle, said receptacle designed to be insertable and removable from said cavity of said container, said receptacle includes an internal chamber and a plurality of fins located in said internal chamber, said internal chamber having an open end, a closed end, an internal surface connecting said open end and said closed end, and a central longitudinal axis, said plurality of fins projecting from said internal surface of said internal chamber toward said central longitudinal axis, each of said plurality of fins has a length in a direction of said central longitudinal axis, a height in a direction perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, and a thickness in a direction substantially orthogonal to said height and said length, at least two of said fins having said length greater than said height and said thickness, said plurality of fins configured to engage a side of the pastry bag when inserted into said receptacle along a longitudinal length of the pastry bag, said plurality of fins configured to reduce a surface area of contact with the pastry bag to make it easier to remove the pastry bag from said receptacle, said height of said fins is greater than said thickness of said fins, said thickness of at least one said fins varies along said central longitudinal axis. 15. The caddy as defined in claim 14, wherein said internal chamber has a cross-sectional area, said cross-sectional area at said open end greater than said cross-sectional area at said closed end. 16. A caddy for holding a pastry bag, said caddy comprising a receptacle and a container, said container having a cavity designed to at least partially receive said receptacle, said receptacle designed to be insertable and removable from said cavity of said container, said receptacle includes an internal chamber and a plurality of fins located in said internal chamber, said internal chamber having an open end, a closed end, an internal surface connecting said open end and said closed end, and a central longitudinal axis, said plurality of fins projecting from said internal surface of said internal chamber toward said central longitudinal axis, each of said plurality of fins has a length in a direction of said central longitudinal axis, a height in a direction perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, and a thickness in a direction substantially orthogonal to said height and said length, at least two of said fins having said length greater than said height and said thickness, said plurality of fins configured to engage a side of the pastry bag when inserted into said receptacle along a longitudinal length of the pastry bag, said plurality of fins configured to reduce a surface area of contact with the pastry bag to make it easier to remove the pastry bag from said receptacle, said plurality of fins each have an outer edge surface that is defined as a portion of said fins positioned closest to said central longitudinal axis of said internal chamber, a plurality of said fins includes a first and second tapered section, said first tapered section located above said second tapered section, said first tapered section having a taper angle that is greater than a taper angle of said second tapered section. 17. A caddy for holding a pastry bag, said caddy comprising a receptacle and a container, said container having a cavity designed to at least partially receive said receptacle, said receptacle designed to be insertable and removable from said cavity of said container, said receptacle includes an internal chamber and a plurality of fins located in said internal chamber, said internal chamber having an open end, a closed end, an internal surface connecting said open end and said closed end, and a central longitudinal axis, said plurality of fins projecting from said internal surface of said internal chamber toward said central longitudinal axis, each of said plurality of fins has a length in a direction of said central longitudinal axis, a height in a direction perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, and a thickness in a direction substantially orthogonal to said height and said length, at least two of said fins having said length greater than said height and said thickness, said plurality of fins configured to engage a side of the pastry bag when inserted into said receptacle along a longitudinal length of the pastry bag, said plurality of fins configured to reduce a surface area of contact with the pastry bag to make it easier to remove the pastry bag from said receptacle, said receptacle includes a flange, said flange arranged externally about said receptacle and positioned exterior to said internal chamber, said flange designed to overlap at least a portion of a rim of said container when said receptacle is removably positioned in said container. 18.
