Large fluted profile for large fluting: voluminous piping and striking borders, compatible with all disposable and reusable piping bags, with or without an adapter.

Patissland Tip for the Wilton Tip #8B

Fluted tips require a well-structured buttercream to maintain deep flutes. 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.
