Ateco 271 Russian Ball Tip Piping Tip

I use this unconventionally. I use an airbrush with food dye to create unique looks on cookies. Aim the airbrush into the well, and spray around the negative areas. Tip is sturdy and well built.

So I've never piped icing before, and the 275 Russian Ball Tip seemed like it'd be an "easy" one to start out with. Not the case. I bungled my cupcakes, and probably should have gone with a open/closed star instead. Quality is great though, even if my skill is not yet up to par for using something this fancy.

fantastic piping tips are definitely a time saver. it is really fun to use and you can create fabulous designs and make your cake look very professional and you can use this on your little cupcake too.

Cute swirly buttercream design. Comes out smoothly and easy. Best if you turn the piping bag along with your piping, so you can have the complete swirled look with a pretty finish.

Love this piping tip. Makes the cupcakes look bigger because you pipe more frosting on the cupcakes or cream to pies. Great tip to use for different desserts.

I love Ateco tips. They are very well made. This particular one is a large tip and is great for easy cake decorations on the go.

This tip makes such a pretty fluffy ruffle pattern on cakes, cookies and cupcakes. This product is very easy to use and clean and will hold up for many uses.

This russian tip is excellent for quickly piping flower patterns onto cupcakes or around the edges of layer cakes. Another tip can be put in the center to make a more complex shape.

Okay so first things first this russian tip makes a very pretty design. on the down side the tip was a bit difficult to fit into the pastry bags i use. make sure they are tightly secure in your bag. the first time i used this it was not and it easily slid back up into the bag mid project. really a fun tip, i personally need more time working with it to perfect!

Chose this smooth sided ruffle ball tip so I would have an assortment of different tip varieties. Quick and easy was for a lot of coverage fast or very quick work of cupcakes. Best to have something to fill center.

I was wondering what all the hype was about these Russian ball tips. Now I know, they give such a different look to my cupcakes.

Great quality very satisfied with my purchase, shipping was fast and well packaged, definitely will buy again in the future very recommended item and solid product

Russian ball tips create a unique ruffled-style frosting that's difficult to get with any other tips, but I have a bit of a love/hate relationship because it can be difficult to control how the frosting comes out & it's very difficult to get a consistent ruffle each time. They also leave an unsightly hole in the middle, so it's best to use this tip when your cupcakes will have some sort of bigger garnish (like a strawberry half) to cover up the hole. Still, the look of ruffled frosting piped using this tip is charming enough, even when each one looks slightly different, that it's worth putting up with the frustrating aspects of using it.

Ateco is one of the best when it comes to baking supplies. No regrets and stay true to its quality with affordable pricing. Returning customer. My decorations are made easier with these new russian tips. Thanks again.

Very fun tip. Creates a fluffy ruffle. I use these when I want to add a large topper, as they give a nice space for truffles or cookies, etc to sit.

These were a hit for a special order of 8 dozen Easter cupcakes. They were easy to work with and the results were just what I was looking for.

This tip is huge! If you want to decorate a cupcake you will have to pipe out a lot of cream on in to make a nice shape. The middle of the design ends up empty unless you keep turning your arm/turntable. Was not my favorite but it is good quality

I love this piping tip! It is of great quality and it works well on my cakes and cupcakes. I would love to buy more that are similar!

Very pleased, used for intended use. Sturdy and durable, easy to clean. However, we would prefer that the factory sticker not be placed directly on product, as the adhesive is difficult to remove.

This is one of my favorite piping tips. It is made from high quality metal. The tip itself is so easy to use and makes the most beautiful flowers.

Very fun and easy to use the Russian piping tips. The #5 ball tip comes out perfectly and beautiful each and every time. Definitely recommend

The Russian ball piping tips are fun and easy to use. They make beautiful cupcakes in a pinch. Add multiple colors to your piping bag for a really unique look.

I own many piping tips from Ateco and all of them work well with the bags, couplers, and cleaning brush as long as you use the correct sized items in relation to the tip on your bag. This company has a huge selection of piping tips and the Ateco 275 #5 Russian Ball Tip Piping Tip provides a beautiful and unique whipped top look to your cake or cupcake.

These look great simply piped or using different color frostings at once. They are excellent for use in cupcakes and cakes. Makes a simple cake look elegant.

Makes a nice swirl for cupcakes. I did open up the slots with a knife to get a little bit of a fuller ruffle. But over all like this tip a lot.

This icing tip is so fun to use, and it creates beautiful cupcakes and designs. You can do so much with it, and the outcome is perfect every time.

This one is my favorite ball tip. Clearly defined shape. Gorgeous Height and ease of use. Plus I bought the entire set here for less than half at other sites!

Russian tips!!!! Is the very next way to bake & look like a professional overnight. WOW!! I used this tip to use on my red velvet cupcakes. It was very easy to use with a slight twist of the wrist. Then wal-la. A very nice ruffle look or lace. You call it. Either way., nice. As seen in the photo with homemade cookies. So, everyone happy at home. I look like a professional.
