Great little picture guide. I teach a condenses culinary class in the prison system, piping always consumed too much time with the trial and error method I used to use. this has cut it down and simplified. Bought 10 of these books, each student can put parchment or saran over the page to practice replicating the different techniques on, this has been invaluable in teaching and has built a lot of confidence in this section of my course.

Handy little guide to some possibilities with tips. It's a good companion to the Ateco 55 piece tip set. Be aware that there aren't really instructions; it's more of a visual guide to what can be done with a number of tips.

This reference book is a life saver is you use the Ateco pastry tips in your decorations. You can keep on hand to double check what design each tip will look like and they are numbered in relation to the numbers on the tip for easy reference.

Great handy resource guide to show tips and used for each tip. The only bad thing is Ateco just came out with a ton of new tips that are not included here...There needs to be a part two...

This is a helpful guide if you don’t have your icing top numbers memorized—You can look at a pic of the icing effect you want and it will tell you the tip number to use. I deducted one star because the guide doesn’t have many of the large Ateco tips included, and those are the tipsnInuse most often.

This is useful if you have a lot of Ateco tips. It shows you what each tip is used for. I have a lot of Wilton tips, so I didn't end up using it as much as I would have liked.

I bought this manual book for my mom, which has spent her life making cakes for a living. She agreed it was a good book for her to reference when she needed to, especially all the different types of tips she can use on bags to make various designs. It got her vote of approval!
