Claim:
1. A viscous food dispenser comprising: a cylinder having a first end and a second end, the first end being open, the second end comprising an annulus and a threaded nozzle, the cylinder further having an interior surface that defines an open interior, the threaded nozzle extending from the annulus away from the open interior; a dispensing cap threadingly engaged with the threaded nozzle and extending away from the annulus, the dispensing cap further comprising a hollow tube and at least one knife edge extending past the annulus into the open interior; a piston removably received within the open interior through the first end to slidingly engage the interior surface of the cylinder; a flexible bag configured to hold a viscous food, the flexible bag disposed within the open interior of the cylinder; a self-sealing orifice located in the dispensing cap and configured to dispense the viscous food therethrough; a dispensing end comprising a dispensing annulus, the dispensing end orientated to restrain the second end of the cylinder; a cradle connected to the dispensing end, the cradle configured to removably receive the cylinder in engagement with the dispensing annulus; a spring-loaded trigger, mechanically actuatable to create a dispending force; and a piston rod configured to engage the piston, the piston rod moveable in response to actuation of the spring loaded trigger; wherein the flexible bag engages the annulus of the cylinder to support the flexible bag as the at least one knife edge of the dispensing cap pierces the flexible bag and the piston engages the flexible bag such that a force applied to the piston causes an amount of viscous food in the open interior of the cylinder proportionate to the force applied to exit the flexible bag through the second end of the cylinder and the hollow tube of the dispensing cap.
