Uses
- Main use: even ridged borders.
- Suitable for buttercream, whipped ganache, and royal icing, depending on the desired consistency.
- Can be used directly with a disposable piping bag, or with a coupler to switch tips without changing bags.
- Food-grade stainless steel: withstands piping pressure and retains its shape over time.
Pro tip. With tip 21, constant pressure and a steady movement create clean ridges; uneven pressure disrupts the repetition of the pattern.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between tip 21 and an open star tip such as #1M?
Tip 21 creates finer, tighter ridges than an open star tip such as #1M, for a more precise finish on small borders.
Is tip 21 suitable for layer cake borders?
For clean borders on layer cakes, tip 21 works very well, whether used for a continuous cord or spaced dots.
Which frosting gives the best results with tip 21?
Tip 21 gives the best results with firm-consistency buttercream, which keeps the ridges defined for several hours.
