Wilton Tip #4 - Small Round

Small round tip for structured decorations and thick lettering

The Wilton Tip #4 is a stainless steel pastry tip in the American standard size, a signature of the Wilton brand, a global reference in cake design since 1929. Small round profile: structured decorations and thick lettering, compatible with all disposable and reusable piping bags, with or without adapter.

Professional quality food-grade stainless steel: the tip maintains its shape under pressure, does not deform over time, and remains dishwasher safe for intensive use in pastry labs or demanding home kitchens. The #4 tip is documented in all Wilton manuals and recognized by all professional cake designers trained in the Wilton system.

Patissland Tip for Wilton Tip #4

For consistent piping with the round tip: pressure must be constant from start to finish. If the piping is too fluid and collapses, your cream is too soft (add mascarpone up to 30% or stabilize with 1 g gelatin per 100 g). If the flow is jerky, your cream is too firm (soften with a little cold liquid cream).
