Uses
- Main use: ridged borders and structured piping.
- 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 warping.
Pro tip. With tip 16, constant pressure and a steady motion create clean ridges; uneven pressure disrupts the repetition of the pattern.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between tip 16 and an open star tip such as #1M?
Tip 16 has more closely spaced teeth than an open star tip such as #1M: the ridges are finer and more even, creating a subtler finish on borders.
Is tip 16 suitable for layer cake borders?
Yes, tip 16 is commonly used for regular ridged borders along the bottom and top of layer cakes, either in continuous piping or repeated dots.
Which frosting gives the best results with tip 16?
A firm buttercream at a cool room temperature holds the ridges from tip 16 best without drooping after piping.
