Interesting pipe tip. I use it for my cupcakes. Makes good flower like decoration from buttercream. Makes the decoration process easier and faster than having to pipe out each individual flower petal.

This tip looks great in conjunction with the russian ball tips. It could also be used on its own for quick patterns but it is really made for use with the other tip.

i have used this just once, but all these Russian tips seem to leave a hole in the center. Ididn't think this one would, but it does unless you do short fat flowers. I will continue to use, but not a favorite.

This is one of the difficult ones when it comes to the line of Russian flower tips. However still worth the buy! I plan to try it with a lighter icing. Hoping that'll do the trick.

These Russian piping tips by ateco are absolutely marvelous and creates the most gorgeous frosting flowers ever! Just make sure your icing is of a thicker consistency so they turn out and can withstand their shape.

This makes nice pipes similar to the mushroom looking roof vent. That is an odd comparison but anyway. This tip needs a stiff buttercream to show well. Probably best not to use french buttercream.

One of my favorite Russian tips. It's easy to use and always produces a clean looking flower. I recently used this tip to create a flower bouquet on the top of a 6 inch cake. It was a huge hit! Ateco has yet to fail me in any of their products.

I’m not a fan of this tip- does it work? YES. Does it fit in any piping bag or coupler? NO. I have others that are not as wide and they work much better.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

I was really excited about this tip, but when I got to use it not so much. This tip tends to produce a blob even with the thickest of frosting. I will keep practicing with a mousse instead of buttercream to see if maybe I can get a clean flower.

I bought this to use to pipe flowers on a cake. It works just as expected and I love it like all of my other Russian Piping Tips from Ateco. I wouldn't recommend it for use with softer icings.

This tip preschoolers with a series of center grass like protrusions. I thought I would have the blogging issue with the center of this tip. It turned out nice and defined in each flower for this one.

Definitely use stiff frosting with this tip but besides that it makes simple rosettes quickly. If you are piping flowers onto a cake this will make your job easy.
