Colour Mill - Piping Tips
Piping Tip #2E
Medium closed star piping tip for classic rosettes and borders
The Colour Mill #2E piping tip is a stainless-steel pastry tip, compatible with all disposable or reusable piping bags, with or without a coupler. Medium closed star profile: it produces medium-sized rosettes and ridges, a versatile size between large borders and fine finishes.
Professional-grade food-safe stainless steel: the tip retains its shape under pressure, does not deform over time, and is dishwasher-safe for intensive use.

Recommended uses
- Medium rosettes for topping standard cupcakes
- Even ridged borders on classic-sized layer cakes
- Decorative finishes on individual tartlets
Instructions
- Place the piping tip in an empty piping bag, tip toward the point, and cut the end level with the base for a neat fit
- Fill the bag two-thirds full with your mixture (buttercream, whipped ganache, stabilized whipped cream), pushing the air toward the tip
- Hold the bag vertically about 1 cm above the surface and squeeze with an even motion; rinse the tip in warm soapy water after use (dishwasher-safe)
Please note: the consistency of the cream is the main factor determining the uniformity of the pattern (it should hold a ribbon on the spatula): rinse the #2E tip immediately after use to prevent residue from drying in the medium closed star profile.
Frequently asked questions
How does the #2E differ from the larger #2C?
The profile is the same closed star, but the smaller opening produces finer, more even rosettes and ridges.
Is this piping tip suitable for a standard-sized cupcake?
Yes, it is a standard size for classic cupcakes—neither too imposing nor too subtle.
Can it be used for stiff royal icing?
Yes, provided you adjust the consistency: icing that is too stiff will put pressure on the piping bag, while icing that is too runny will flatten the ridged texture.
