#2E Medium Closed Star Piping Tip

Medium closed star tip for regular piping and fluted borders

The Colour Mill #2E piping tip is a stainless steel pastry tip in a professional standard size, compatible with all disposable and reusable piping bags, with or without an adapter. Medium closed star profile for signature piping with buttercream, whipped ganache, stabilized whipped cream, or meringue.

Professional-grade food stainless steel: the tip maintains its shape under pressure, does not deform over time, and remains dishwasher safe for intensive use in pastry labs or demanding home kitchens.

Patissland Tip for the #2E Tip

The regularity of the pattern depends primarily on the consistency of your mixture. Too soft buttercream will collapse and lose the relief of the flutes, while too firm cream partially blocks the outlet. Aim for a ribbon-like texture on the spatula. For whipped creams, add 2 g of mascarpone or gelatin per 100 g of cream to stabilize the piping and keep the pattern intact for several hours.
