Wilton Open Star Piping Tip #1M

Product Information

Take a look at the tutorial below to see all 4 styles and how I piped them. I really hope this will be helpful the next time you are looking to pipe cupcakes and let me know in the comments below which is your favourite.

Confectioners’ Sugar: If your confectioners’ sugar is particularly lumpy, I recommend sifting it 1-2x before measuring and using. Holding tip 104 flat against the cupcake with the thinner edge pointed outward and the larger edge pointing to the center of the cupcake, pipe a row of ruffles around the outer edge by moving the tip slightly up and down. For the next set of ruffles, hold the tip at a 45 degree angle and pipe the next row so that it stands a little bit taller. For the final and innermost set of ruffles, hold the tip at more of a 75 degree angle so they stand taller than the previous set. Use it to pipe dots, outlines, and rounded swirls. Making letterings using this piping tip takes some practice, but it’s surely worth your effort! 6.

Piping tips help to add intricate details to your cakes, and make them uniquely yours. To create delicate ruffles and petals with a defined structure, make sure the wider end is the closest to your cake, and the thinner end faces upwards. 5.

Wilton 1M: Wilton 1M is a classic piping tip and the buttercream rose is a staple decoration. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, pipe a flat swirl. You can see this lovely rose decoration on this 6 inch birthday cake. You can also create two-toned frosting roses. You can also produce a decoration that resembles soft serve ice cream. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, move the tip slowly around, building a tall swirl on top of itself. The kit also includes cold ingredients such as butter and cream cheese, along with extra cake decorating essentials such as piping bags and a star piping tip!

Having run a series of increasingly successful classes on the art of cake decorating, Wilton began production of their expanding product line in 1959. The 'Tuk-n-Ruffle', their first product, is a lacy, ruffled trim that is put around the base of the cake to make it appear decorated even before icing decorations are added. This attention to making professional looking decorations accessible for everyone remains at the heart of Wilton's ethos, and they have put all their knowledge, passion and ideas into creating a range of products which help novices and master decorators alike. Select your desired piping tip from the list above, and have your cake, cupcakes, or other confections cooled and ready. Here are all of my cake recipes and cupcake recipes. When I first started baking cupcakes, frosting them was as simple as using a butter knife to heap the buttercream on top. Sure, you can do some cool stuff with a butter knife (can you really?), but the right piping tips and techniques make all the difference when it comes to decorating cupcakes that look uniform, professional, and sometimes too pretty to eat. My very first piping tip was the ultra-versatile Wilton 1M, and it’s still one of my go-to’s for creating buttercream designs on cupcakes. Today I’m going to talk about four of my favorite piping tips for decorating cupcakes, the 1M tip included, and 10 easy (and eye-catching!) looks you can create with them. Itching to exercise your cake decoration skills but don't want the hassles of finding a good recipe, purchasing and weighing all the different ingredients, and sourcing for all the tools required?This look is really amazing when you use different colors for each row, especially in an ombrè color scheme.
