Wilton Open Star Piping Tip #1M

Product Information

In this practical tutorial I’m going to show you seven of my favorite decorating techniques using two Wilton tips–the 1M and the 6B. The consistency of the frosting, the speed, and the pressure are very important when it comes to piping the perfect swirl or rose on a cupcake. However, this tip can also be used to pipe lovely ribbons, ruffles and simpler three or five-petal flowers, such as an apple blossom. Through their products, and unwavering passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in cake art, Wilton continue to inspire professional-looking creations in home baking. You may add ice, but prepare to warm up the tip, as the metal tips will become very cold in ice water quickly.

PLEASE NOTE: the adage “8 oz = 1 cup” is NOT true when speaking about weight, so don’t be concerned if the measurements don’t fit this formula. Food coloring: I recommend Americolor gel food coloring, which gives vibrant colors with just a small amount.
