A fine writing nozzle and a star nozzle, covering two complementary uses.

Uses
- Nozzle 3: writing, outlining, and fine royal icing decorations.
- Nozzle 16: fluted borders and structured buttercream piping.
- Compatible with disposable and reusable piping bags, with or without a coupler.
- Food-grade stainless steel that withstands pressure without deforming.
Pro tip. Use nozzle 3 at the end of the decorating process for messages and details, after creating the main borders with nozzle 16: this order prevents the wider piping bag from damaging fine lettering.

Frequently asked questions
Why combine references 3 and 16 in this set?
They cover two very common complementary uses: fine writing for messages and fluted borders for defining the edge of a cake.
Can nozzle 16 be used for cupcake rosettes?
Yes. When piped in a spiral, nozzle 16 creates a compact fluted rosette, smaller than those made with a large open star nozzle such as 1M.
Is nozzle 3 also suitable for filling small pastries?
Yes. Its fine, round opening allows you to fill small pastries such as mini cream puffs, in addition to its primary use for writing.
