This tip is slightly larger that the 16 tip & is easier to use because it is bigger. This tip is still small enough to use on cupcakes or pretty cake designs typically used for a star fill in, borders, or drop flowers.

Ateco makes wonderful quality icing tips that hold up well when used constantly, without much bending or discoloration ice experience with other brands I’ve tried.
The Ateco size 18 open star piping tip is a great addition to my collection, it is very fine so the dough will need to be quite firm to hold the shape. It is beautifully made as usual for Ateco products, and the price is right!
Exactly the tips I needed for my baking and pastry program at work. Use these to pipe everything from macarons to eclairs! Great item and great price!
I love this for making small rosettes or stars. Sturdy, and provides consistent piping. These tips don't get bent out of shape easily, which is great.
I will be buying more of these Ateco 18 #5 Open Star Piping Tip. Great quality material, easy to use and when I finish my project, I just place it in the dishwasher. Makes perfect borders and rosettes...I love these
Perfect for piping butter or used for desserts. It is also way cheeper than ordering an entire Wiltons kit, especially, when we only use one or two tips in the kit.
Very good quality piping tip. I'm going to use it to make very small borders on the cake. I was thinking, that it was bigger than it actually is.
This number 5 open star tube is still fairly small but it’s where we begin to get into a slightly bigger tube. It can still be used to create small decorations, and the detail is nice when I decide to use this particular tube.
