Frequently asked questions
What type of cake is the 48 tip used for?
Tip 48 is especially suited to rustic and country-style layer cakes, with full wicker-basket-style coverage.
Does tip 48 require a particular technique?
The woven effect of tip 48 requires a steady motion using short, overlapping bands, with the angle slightly alternating on each pass.
Which frosting holds the pattern from tip 48 best?
A firm buttercream best preserves the woven relief from tip 48; a texture that is too soft will flatten the pattern after a few minutes.
