Fluted profile for fluted piping: structured piping and deep fluted borders, compatible with all disposable and reusable piping bags, with or without adapter.

Patissland Tip for the Wilton #6B Tip

Fluted tips require a well-structured buttercream to maintain deep fluting. Prefer Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream for long-lasting piping. American buttercream is suitable if you pipe quickly just before serving. Refrigerate the cake 15 minutes after piping to stabilize the pattern.
