Ateco makes really high quality French star piping tips that are cut deeply enough to pipe out frosting with really defined lines. Just be sure to make lots of whatever frosting you plan to pipe. These extra large piping tips pipe out quite a lot of frosting at once.

I used this to pipe cactus for a smaller variety on a cactus/succulent cake. It works well for icing cupcakes and for borders also. Durable and good quality.

This pastry tube does wonders. This is the French star#8 which makes the most wonderful decorating designs. This tube is best for large decorative boarders! The icing comes out smoothly and all you do is move in a up and down motion to help creative a beautiful design!

I use this tip for Standard cupcakes normally. However it works well on tortes and cakes on the top piped in a circular motion. They work great and fit with a medium sized coupler.

The French Star is my favorite tip for frosting cupcakes, and it is so quick and easy since the opening is so large! The tip itself is very durable and cleans up easily.

This Ateco 868 5/8" French Star #8 Pastry Tube (August Thomsen) is too large to make delicate intricate designs but It's perfect for rosettes, borders and to ice cupcakes. Very well made and easy to clean. Highly recommend it.

This pastry bag tip works great for the shaping of our eclairs. Easy to use and leaves nice ridges on the pastry for chocolate to sink in.

Nice quality tip, good for large coverage. Beware that the amount of icing is quite large because the grooves are so shallow. Good metal construction, solid and clean when piping. Get a coupler to make your life easier when changing tips!
