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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
