A star tip, also known as a star-shaped piping tip or nozzle, is a versatile tool commonly used in baking and cake decorating. All of our decorating kits come with a professional piping tip set. Each set includes a reusable piping bag, 5 stainless steel tips and a professional coupler for easy tip removal and exchange.

Here are some things you can do with a star tip:

• Create Decorative Swirls: Star tips are often used to pipe decorative swirls of frosting on cupcakes, cakes, and other baked goods. This classic technique can make your desserts look elegant and appealing.
• Pipe Rosettes: With a star tip, you can easily pipe rosettes on cakes and cupcakes. Rosettes are small, flower-like decorations made by piping a circular pattern of stars.
• Make Ruffles: Star tips can be used to create ruffle patterns on cakes and cupcakes. This adds a beautiful and delicate texture to your desserts.
• Pipe Stars: As the name suggests, star tips are excellent for piping star-shaped decorations on cakes and cupcakes. These stars can be used to fill in gaps or as part of larger designs.
• Create Shells: Another popular use of star tips is to pipe shell borders around the edges of cakes. These shells can be simple or elaborate, depending on the size and pressure applied while piping.
• Add Texture: Star tips can add texture and dimension to your cakes and cupcakes. You can pipe a series of stars or rosettes to cover the surface of a cake, creating a visually interesting design.
• Make Drop Flowers: Star tips can be used to create drop flowers, which are small, simple flower shapes often used to decorate cupcakes and cookies.
• Pipe Borders: Star tips are great for piping borders around the top and bottom edges of cakes. These borders can be used to frame your cake design and give it a polished look.
• Fill The Inside of Your Cupcake: Star tips are also used to fill cupcakes with buttercream, fudge or other fillings. The star shape adds a decorative touch to your cupcake.
