The photo above shows two main types of leaf piping tips. The one on the left, the Wilton 352, has a large V notch, which creates a smooth leaf that is full at the base and tapered towards the end. The tip on the right with the smaller opening, the Wilton 67, has a cut along the top and sides with a tiny notch in its middle. This helps make a more ruffled leaf. The scrollwork and dots on the left were piped with the PME Supatube 2.5 nozzles. The Ateco 808 was used to pipe the generous dots to the right. Wilton 2D: a medium drop-flower tip. This is my personal favorite tip to use! It’s perhaps a little less common, but I think it creates a beautiful, realistic flower effect. The very deep grooves in the tip create a slightly “droopy” petal effect that is especially beautiful when using multi-colored frosting.

The Wilton 2C tip is another large “drop flower” piping tip. The 2C has ten prongs, as opposed to the 2D that only has six prongs.

The kit also includes cold ingredients such as butter and cream cheese, along with extra cake decorating essentials such as piping bags and a star piping tip!

A good analogy might be how you think you might have two pieces of clothing that are the same red, but when you put then side by side, you can see that they are not the same color – subtly so, but still different. So it is with tips.Having run a series of increasingly successful classes on the art of cake decorating, Wilton began production of their expanding product line in 1959. The 'Tuk-n-Ruffle', their first product, is a lacy, ruffled trim that is put around the base of the cake to make it appear decorated even before icing decorations are added. This attention to making professional looking decorations accessible for everyone remains at the heart of Wilton's ethos, and they have put all their knowledge, passion and ideas into creating a range of products which help novices and master decorators alike.

Lastly, the Wilton 2F tip is quite unique to the other piping tips mentioned. The 2F has a total of ten prongs; however, five prongs are long and five are short.

After you first fill your piping bag, make sure to squeeze out some of the frosting onto a plate or parchment paper if using more than one color of icing. This allows each color to fill the tip so that it shows up in your piped buttercream rosette. Ateco #822: small star tip. This one is probably cheating, since it’s not a single rosette–it’s more like a whole bouquet on top of a cupcake! Regardless, it uses the same piping technique, so I’m going with it. I love that this towering rosette cupcake looks fancy, but takes less than a minute from start to finish.
