Numbered Wilton piping tips
Numbered Wilton piping tips (1M, 2D, 104, leaf…) for rosettes, flowers, ruffles, and precise, consistent decorations.
The Wilton numbering system
Wilton standardized its piping tips with numbers: star tips (1M, 2D) for rosettes and flowers, petal tip (104) for ruffles and roses, leaf tip (352), plain tips for writing, and Russian piping tips. A handy system that makes it easier to follow tutorials and achieve consistent results.
Piping and compatibility
The piping tips are used with standard piping bags and a coupler for changing tips without emptying the bag. For a rosette, hold the tip at 90° and turn; for a flower, work on a flower nail. A firm frosting gives crisp details.
