Wilton Open Star Piping Tip #1M

Product Information

Wilton 8B: Wilton 8B is very easy to use, but creates a beautiful decoration. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, swirl upward. You can see I used it on these white chocolate strawberry cupcakes and these chai latte cupcakes. The most popular piping tips people often get when first starting to pipe cupcakes is the 1M which is an open star tip and the 2D which is a closed star tip, but which one do you use for which swirl? In this weeks video I thought I would compare the two so you can see the differences and this will hopefully help you choose the right one the next time you are piping cupcakes. The 1M or the 2D Wilton 1M: Wilton 1M is a classic piping tip and the buttercream rose is a staple decoration. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, pipe a flat swirl. You can see this lovely rose decoration on this 6 inch birthday cake. You can also create two-toned frosting roses. You can also produce a decoration that resembles soft serve ice cream. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, move the tip slowly around, building a tall swirl on top of itself.

This characteristic makes closed star tips great for piping rosettes , flowers, and making swirls. You can also create pretty, detailed ruffles using this tip!

Wilton #67 It’s amazing how a simple move of your hand as you pipe can create such different results than a basic swirl. The right piping tips and techniques make all the difference when it comes to creating flawless cupcakes. These are definitely the easiest looks to create, but they’re still some of my go-to’s when it comes to cupcake decorating.

Please Note: Customised or personalised items are excluded from the regulations and cannot be returned. Due to food safety concerns, ready-made cakes are not subject to return unless considered faulty or not fit for purpose. Storage & Freezing: Use prepared frosting immediately or cover tightly and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting on medium speed for a few seconds so it’s creamy again. After thawing or refrigerating, beating in a splash of heavy cream or milk will help thin the frosting out again, if needed. One really popular style of cupcake is the rosette, made to look like a pretty rose on the top of your cake. Using the two different tips the 2D is definitely my favourite for this effect. As you pipe the rosette from the middle out, the sides of the swirl slightly bend over and look like there are hidden petals on the inside really giving that rose effect. Video Tutorial – Comparing the 1M to the 2D This is a very similar technique to buttercream carnations , and it ends up looking like a pretty little pom pom that looks great in any color!This large open star tip can also be used to add “gems"—the tiny star-like shapes that are typically used to pipe out meringue drops and decorate mini cupcakes. 3. Wilton 2D

Holding tip 104 vertically with the skinny end pointed upward, pipe a few squiggles in a swirl in the very center on the cupcake. Continue to add ruffley piping in a circular pattern around the center swirl until you reach the edge. This is my all-time favorite design, and I often use a few different colors with this technique. It never fails to impress. Create individual little petals and arrange them into flowers, or use it to add small ruffles around your cake! One note: I create TWO looks with the Wilton 1M. That’s the tip I use and recommend for two-toned frosting roses, but it’s also the tip I use to create soft-serve looking swirls as shown in the video tutorial above.

Holding tip 104 flat against the cupcake with the thinner edge pointed outward and the larger edge pointing to the center of the cupcake, pipe a row of ruffles around the outer edge by moving the tip slightly up and down. For the next set of ruffles, hold the tip at a 45 degree angle and pipe the next row so that it stands a little bit taller. For the final and innermost set of ruffles, hold the tip at more of a 75 degree angle so they stand taller than the previous set. With this piping tip set, you can step up your cake decorating game with just one squeeze! Experiment with the different patterns to create various flowers, succulents, and more.
