Tip 21 is my favorite because I like to use it to make rosettes for borders or for small cupcake swirls. It’s also nice for tree branches and sunflower stems.

I love the grass tip the best as I just love making themed cuppies ie. football, teddy picnic, chick. Or you can always use it for hair!!

I love the plain round one for dots, lines and lettering!

I am actually practising with tip 233 to make some look alike grass!!!….I am looking forward to see who wins!!!

Thanks

I love so many of them and I am just learning how to use them. Right now I love using the large open mouthed one for making swirls on cupcakes!

Oh, by piping tip I thought tip in the sense of ‘advise’! Mistake

I like the number 3

Favorite tip? That’s hard to narrow down. I love the 1M for doing gorgeous cupcakes so quickly and easily, I love the grass tip because it’s great for furry animals and hair, and I love the leaf tip because it’s great for leaves and flower petals and also for owl feathers… yes, I said owl feathers!

My favorite is #1… the smallest I have. I have heard rumors there are smaller….

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! I sooooooo need to get one of those holders. I always seem to spill some frosting on my counter when I am trying to load up my bag. Such a great idea. I would LOVE to have one.

I still have many things to learn with cake decorating, but I like using the 1M for cupcakes and 3 for writing on large cakes.

My favorite tip is the one I can actually find! Hmmm, I think my organization skills might need some work.

My favorite is #67 for leaves. I used to only use it for a few things, but discovered last year how to use it to make poinsettia petals, and decorated a bunch over Christmas.

I love making flowers, those tips are my favorite. And I also bought the one that makes grass, I think that looks really cute.

My favorite tip is the Star tip. Mainly size 12 or 14 depending on the size of my cake. It allows for versatile borders/designs for me. Ilm just in love with it. Just like I LOVE ALL THINGS CAKE, I LOVE ALL THINGS STARS, lol.

I love flowers on cakes. I would go for drop flower tips # 190 or 225.

For me 1M is the best that I see.! Its great to cover the cakes , and its my favourite because its the firts that I use, by now.
Thank you!

Probably not original, but I have to say Wilton’s 1M tip – simple to use and those swirls always get compliments.

My husband tried to make me one. Not this nice

Star Tip! My god daughter loves the beautiful designs on her favorite pastry, the cupcake!!!!

#2 for piping borders on cookies. Thanks for the giveaway!

#7 to pipe details on a cake.

#3 for sure! Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite tip is the #3 tip. I love to make dots, write, and outline cookies before flooding them! I love this bag holder!

I have so many fav’s. The ones I use the most, though, are #3 and #18. I haven’t bought one of these holders cause my husband thinks I have enough gadgets! What? How can that be?

my favorite has to be the #2. I can pipe before flooding, write, do just about anything with it. I love the new holder. It looks alot nicer than the tumbler that i normally use to hold my bags.

I have such a huge collection of tips, but I mostly decorate cookies so the most useful for me is the #2 tip. This bag holder seems really practical, can’t believe it took so long for someone to come up with it!

I use the round tips, mostly #3 for cookie decorating. I love the new piping bag holder that Wilton has come out with! I’m getting one of as soon as I can get to the store!

Hi, no doubt,#22 is the one I use the most, perfect for cupcakes…

My favorite is the star tip #18. Like others have said, you can do a great deal of different things with it. Really, I like all the star tips.

Ohhhh…la la la..My favorite tip is the #104!
All the great flowers this tip can create! Let me share..the Rose, Daffodil, Pansy, Daisy, Primrose..I sure do love flowers and this tip is at the top of my list!
Make it a YOU kinda day!

I love love LOVE star tips! you can do so much with them! from a twirl of frosting on cupcakes to little stars and shells etc!

My all time fave tip = the grass tip. With 2 boys in my house (plus my hubby) my cuppies (and often birthday cakes) like to disguise themselves as furry monsters (the happy kind, of course) and the grass tip is extremely useful. Plus, we’re getting into the sports themed cakes and what’s a sports cake without grass??

LOVE your site by the way!

I, too, love my 1M tip!

I too love my 1M tip!

I would have to say either the 1M tip or the grass hair tip

I love the icer tip! It makes it easy and a fast way to ice your cake. Thanks.

My favorite tip to use is the Wilton #2. It’s great for outlining and adding details to my cookies.

Definitely 1M tip from Wilton,I made lots of rose swirl on cupcakes with it, very useful tip.

I like a star tip.

Love all the Round tips, Fun on a cupcake too!

My favorite tip is #3. I can make the coolest decorated cookies with it!

jeannine.hill@comcast.net

Hi Louise, my favorite tipe is N 23 star, makes my cake looks amazing, greetings from Venezuela

I’d have to say my favorite is the star tip #21. You can just do so many things with it, and it’s the one I always turn to!

Tu blog es una maravilla, lo sigo, aunque escribo poco porque de ingles… no se mucho… haces cosas espectaculares.
Un beso y sigue enseñandonos cositas tan ricas.

1m piping tip for cupcakes!!

1M for sure! Awesome cupcakes with that one. But this new product would be great for trying lots of new tips!

I am trying again, with my second favourite tip, which is the Wilton 1M… for icing the cupcakes!!!

my favorite is the big tala8 its great for cupcakes, my gran gave it to me and she used it for piping mashed potatoes over 40 years ago so its well worn and loved.

Wilton #3 and M1, becuase is very easy to use it

I love the #12 tip. It makes the perfect sized swirls on my mini cuppies!

1M tip or any big star tips.

My favorite has been 1M because creates beautiful swirls just got a hold of tip # 829 which creates a beautiful swirl as well.

My favorite pipping tip is the 1M tip since I use it so much for decorating cupcakes.

i loved readin the reasons for everyones favorite tips… my personal favorite would be the 1M bc of the many uses and the beautiful borders it can create my second favorite would be the 2d bc of the drop flowers , so easy and quick

suratina@aol.com

I love reading all your helpful hints. We’re never too smart to learn something new!

I “like” the Wilton 352 — they make the best leaves…and look amazing in dark chocolate buttercream icing BUT I absolutely “LOVE” the basketweave tip – they look beautiful on cakes but I only use it to decorate cupcakes to look like pies! love the stand…nic

I love cake decorating and I surely love everything about Wilton. I will check our Wilton distributor here in the Philippines to check if the pastry bag holder is already available. Thanks for the information

My favorite tip would have to be the star #18. It can make a quick icing job for a family dinner look great. A border along the top and bottom can cover a multitude of sins!

I am in love with my new 1M tip which makes perfect cupcake frosting swirls. I also couldn’t live with my narrowest writing tip – I love the intricate detail I can make with it!

I use 2 & 4 the most. I do cookies so these let me do the details.

My favorite piping tip is the star tip #18 because is so versatile…i can decorate a cake with been a pro and will look very beautiful.

My favorite would also have to be Wilton #3. Outlining cookies, dots, writing, swirls… the possibilities are endless!

My favorite decorating tip is a #233 “grass tip”. I love how neat it is at either adding grass or hair or even fur! It can even be used for the middle of flowers. Even though this gets clogged easily (that’s why I have several of them!), it is still my favorite cake decorating tip.

I think this holder would really come in handy as anytime I am decorating I have at least one of my four kids hanging on me or needing something and I am always looking for an “extra” hand! My fav tip would have to be 104 because you can do so much more than a rose

My favorite tip is definitely the basket weave tip. A little patience and you’ve got a beautiful cake. I like to do the sides of the cake perfectly smooth with basket weave on top.

I love the 1M and 2D because I love how my cupcakes look with those tips…

My favorite tip is the rose cone #104. Roses, ruffles, oh my.

I would have to say 1M is my fave tip.You can do so much with it.

I use numbers 1-4 the most. I’d love the bag holder!

My most favorite piping tip is Wilton#21 – Open star decorating tip. It’s give me the very beautiful and cute stars and borders that I love with each decoration on the cakes and cupcakes.

I’m loving all of your tip tips! keep them coming!

My favorite would be the #32 because I used it 20 years ago on my wedding cake for a very different looking border and have enjoyed using it for many years since.

I like the 1M but I also love the leaf tip for making pretty flowers and leaves!

Im not an expert on the tip numbers, but i liked the slanty tip that makes the buttercream roses. That was the first thing i learned to do with frosting. My mom taught me how to make roses.

Hola!
#1 #3 FAB ones for cookie detailed lines, I also have a safety pin around in case it gets clogged..
Nilda =o)

Like many others here, I am a big fan of the 1M tip. Before the 1M I was using #32 for icing cupcakes but never again! The 1M makes for such beautiful swirls – and not just for cupcakes, but for whipped cream topping, cake borders, and more!

I love the 1M tip for my cupcakes! love the rose look!

My favorite is the #789 icer tip- saves lots of time and if i flip the bag and ice w/the jagged edge facing opposite the cake i get a different effect oh and i also love the #79 they make such beautiful chrysanthimums

I like the 2. Not too big, not too small. You can use it for anything.

Hi Louise!
This IS a great tool! My fav tip is probably different than everyone else’s, but I love the ease of tip Wilton #113, which is a large leaf tip. When I don’t have time to make fondant leaves, this does the trick in a jiffy )

I can’t remember what the exact tip number is, but I like most of the Drop Flower Decorating Tips. Particularly the ones that don’t require a coupler. They make absolutely adorable designs on cupcakes with minimal effort!

i agree with jess… i just use a drinking glass with a damp paper towel in the bottom so the tip doesn’t dry out!
my favourite tip is probably the #2round for details

My favorite is definitely the basket weaving tip. I love how the cakes turn out after you use this tip.

My favorite tip is a toss up between #’s 3-6 because I love to do beading work!

I love using all of this tips but my favorite one to use the most is the 104 tip for making roses.

I love the wilton hair and grass tip! I cant remember the number but it makes great boarders as well as cool effects on all sorts of cakes!

Wow… Its definitely hard to decide, but I think right now my favorite tip is any rose tip. I’ve been making tons of borders with it lately and seem to not be able to decorate without it!

I like one . I buy the next month in Moldes y detalles from Chihuahua Mexico I happy because going study
for Master Wilton Course

I have to agree, 1M is the best! My favorite use for it is to cover the whole cake top with rosette swirls and then add confetti sprinkles.

I enjoying using tips 1M and 2D. I enjoy decorating my cupcakes with 1M and I love making drop flowers with 2D.

My most used tip is 1M. It’s perfect for decorating cakes and cupcakes, of course. It’s also great for filling deviled eggs and filling cream puffs and for filling tartlets and for adding whipped cream to pies and…I could go on and on. I use the 1M tip for so many things, it’s usually found in the dish drainer.

I know this is kind of lame, but I love tip 3. It is so versatile and I use it more than any other tip! But…I also love the one that does grass as well

My favorite is also the 1M tip, the #16 is a close second.

Well now all the usual tips such as the piping or leaf tips are constantly in use. But then there are those days when I get to create whimsical cakes or cupcakes and my favorite piping tip is the grass tip. It has made puppies and the Cookie Monster, easter grass and “hair” and even bumpy roads. For some reason I always reach for it and something new jumps into my head. 8->

Hi Louise…My favorite tip is 1M, because of the beautiful effects it gives to my cupcakes!!

My favorite it 1M.

I love the Wilton #12 tip for making bead borders.

I love the 1M star tip! You can make so many different decorations with it. Especially the perfect swirls on my cupcakes.

I love to use the star tips—16 to 21 and the large 1M for ease and fast decorating. I have at least 3 each of the those so I don’t have to wash and change when alternating colors and bags.

I use my #3 a lot, it seems the most versatile when piping details. I do love making royal icing flowers with the tips 101, 103, 104, 59. Tip 21 for great borders. Thanks Louise!

I think the ones I use the most is all the star tips there is so many things you can do with that those and they look great. levine@pldi.net thank you

My fav tip would have to be the all the star tips…they are very vesatile and make a variety of different designs …..pretty nifty:)i use them alot ore than any other tip on my cakes and cupcakes.

I’m also a big fan of the 1M! Specially for my cupcakes

My favorite is the 1M; it’s quick and gives a nice look to the cupcake.

My favorite tip right now is #16 – just because I always turn to it to cover up or fix the one thing that went wrong with my cake

My favorite is 1M I love the fun things you can do with it.

I love Wilton 1M, it makes a very pretty swirl on cupcakes.

My favorite tip is the small star tip. I love that it can be used to make small flowers or to pipe small stars all over a yummy sugar cookie:)

I don’t have a favorite metal tip but I do have a “suggestion tip”! Fill 2 different piping bags about 1/2 full with two different colors of icing. Then snip the tips of the bags off leaving about a 3/8″ hole in each bag. Place BOTH bags into another piping bag with an adapter in place, & squeeze out BOTH colors together to crate 1/2 & 1/2 colors in one bag. You will be so pleased with the wonderful flowers you can come up with using 2-tone colors! Play with it & you will have lots of fun! I say to start with te 2 bags because that’s the easiest way to refill the 2-tone bag! Just be sure not to fill the 2-tone bag to much or you will squish the 2 colors together 1/2 way up. Just fill it to where there is enough to comfortably hold all the icing in one hand! I use a 12″ bag for the 2 individual colors & a 14″ bag for the combined colors!

oh that looks very handy, esp with xmas coming and lots of cookies to ice…. my favourite tip is the grass/fur tip, im sure it has a proper name but i dont know it, i love trying to do the teddy bear like louise and finishing off cupcakes with the grass and adding little bugs/mushrooms, love it!!!!

i’m just getting started but so far…1M.

Very dificult to say which tip I like the most. All of them I use often. I have chosen Tip 3 for favorite. Tip 3 is great for lining my cookies!

# 16, seems to be the one I use the most for borders.

I love the tip #3. Use it to outline my cookies, before flooding… Easy… Not to big or too small!

I love the #67 leaf making tip.. besides making all sorts of small, curly, straight and wavy leafs, you can make long frond leaves and beautiful flowers. I use it for sunflowers, pointsettias and pointed daisies also. I also use it for making green nests on cupcakes when I put chocolate dipped peeps on them.. yummy!!

Tip 233 is amazing! I love the texture it creates for hair and grass, spaghetti and more!

Wilton #3 – the wonderful borders
M1 – ease in use.

My fave tip would have to be the smallest star one that I have. Not only does it make awesome swirls but I can write with it as well.

Oh boy my favorite tip is hands down the LARGE star. I don’e even know what number it is but I know I love using it to decorate my cupcakes everytime

I would have to say that my favorite tip is also the Wilton 1M tip. I can have pretty cupcake swirls with little effort. I also like Wilton tip # 86 for making ruffles.

I love the 199 tip. I use it for borders, dams, and rosettes. If used slowly, with a lot of pressure, it can even be used with cupcakes.

I’m chiming in with the basket weave fans…it rocks!!

I love all my tips, I love to make all different kinds of styles and this bag holder is just genial

I love my 1M tip. It makes my cupcakes look SO good and they are SOOOO easy to do!

The tips I use most are round ones like the Wilton #3 for outlining and detailing cookies, but my favourite would have to be the multi-opening grass/hair tip just because it’s fun!!

I love the 1M for the magic it does to cupcakes!

Thanks, Baker’s Nook & CakeJournal!

My favourite tip is a 1.5 writing tip – this little tip will let me write an inscription, pipe a “snail trail” at the base of a cake to conceal the join. Pipe little dots in random patterns or formal layout. Even little embroidered flowers with simple leaves. Tiny hearts, straight lines, dropped loops, cornelli work …….there must be loads more. 1 tip, 1 cake but so many possibilities.

My favorite tip is the 1M tip because I use it on all my cupcakes to make a nice swirl. My other favorite tip is the grass/hair tip because I love making the cuddly teddy bear cake and using that tip to make realistic brown fur!

I would have to say #21 also, you can do just about anything with it!

My favorite tip is Wilton 2D. It’s a big tip and makes beautiful looking flowers on top of a cupcake.

http://www.cakes-a-nonymous.com/2009/05/mmmmmto-cupcakes.html

Great idea, and you provide such lovely inspiration!

I love my tip leaf tip. I can make leaves, petals, and interesting borders. Love your website……

I keep eyeing up that awesome new product, but have been too cheap to indulge. thanks for a chance to win it. My all-time fave tip the Wilton’s 1M, I just love the traditional puffy gorgeous swirls it produces! Thanks L and M for the giveaway!

My favorite tip is the grass tip. Love making silly Elmo’s and Cookie Monsters, welcome mats, and football fields. My hand kills afterwards, but the effect is so cool!

for sure the star tip, in any size! it makes any cake beautiful!

I’d have to agree with some others and say 1M. It seems like it’s my go to tip.
Thank you!
Malisa

Definitely my 1M tip and for piping – I love my small tips like the 00 to add in the finest details.

I love the curved edge on roses made with my Wilton #97 tip!

I like the star tips. They come in many differenct sizes, and can do just about everything — stars, rosettes, shells, zigzags, and the list goes on.

My fav are the star tips also, #16-21. I use them for shell borders and drop flowers quite often.

My favorite is the 1M tip – it makes cupcakes look so fancy with so little work!

Difficult to say but…definitely the 1A round decorating tip because I love the large round swirl effect on the cupcakes!

My favorite tip has to be the basketweave tip!

My favorite tip is the basketweave tip because I can make a cake look fancy quite easily with that tip. Second would have to be the grass/hair tip.

My favorite piping tip would probably be a star tip #18 or #16, they’re so versatile for borders of all kinds, shells, reverse shells, swirls, and my favorite rope border.

My all-round favorite tip? Hm.. I think I like a parchment cone, because I can cut out different shapes to pipe!. But wilton 1m is would be my favorite proper tip, because besides make roses and swirls, I also use it to pop a quick flower on a cuppie, those that I make for ppl who don’t want too much icing.

The one I use most often is a regular piping tip with a rather large “star”. The tip makes beautiful swirls on my cupcakes, which I then decorate in different styles à la Louise.
