Patissland Tip for the Wilton #2B Tip

The consistency of the open star pattern requires Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream stabilized. For whipped creams, add mascarpone at 30% to maintain the relief of the ridges for several hours at room temperature. Hold the bag perfectly vertical for perfectly regular rosettes.
