Uses
- Main use: signature rosettes and striking borders.
- Compatible with buttercream, whipped ganache, and royal icing, depending on the desired consistency.
- Can be used directly in a disposable piping bag or with a coupler to switch tips without changing bags.
- Food-grade stainless steel: withstands piping pressure and remains durable without deforming.
Pro tip. With tip 18, steady pressure and a consistent motion create clean ridges; uneven pressure disrupts the repetition of the pattern.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between tip 18 and an open star tip such as #1M?
Compared with an open star tip such as #1M, tip 18 has more closely spaced ridges: the pattern is finer and suitable for more delicate finishes.
Is tip 18 suitable for layer cake borders?
Tip 18 creates beautiful ridged borders on layer cakes, either continuously around the edge or as a series of evenly spaced dots.
Which frosting gives the best result with tip 18?
For crisp definition with tip 18, choose a firm buttercream rather than whipped cream, which tends to collapse more quickly.
