Recommended applications
- Generous swirls on XXL cupcakes or individual cakes

- Spectacular rosettes for displays and event cakes
Instructions
- Place the piping tip in an empty piping bag, tip first, and cut the end level with the base for a clean fit
- Fill the bag two-thirds full with your mixture (buttercream, whipped ganache, stabilized whipped cream), pushing the air toward the tip
- Hold the bag vertically about 1 cm above the surface and squeeze with an even motion; rinse the piping tip in hot soapy water after use (dishwasher-safe)
Please note: the consistency of the cream is the main factor in achieving an even pattern (it should hold a ribbon on the spatula): rinse the #4B piping tip immediately after use to prevent residue from drying in the jumbo closed star profile.
Frequently asked questions
Is this jumbo piping tip suitable for small creations?
No, its wide opening is designed for large volumes; choose a #2C or #2E for cupcakes or standard-sized creations.
How much cream does a swirl made with this piping tip use?
Significantly more than a standard piping tip: allow for a generous amount of cream per piece when calculating your requirements.
Do you need a larger piping bag for this reference?
Yes, a 38 cm bag is recommended to leave enough room to work with such a large volume of cream.
