I have an elmo cake coming up and I'd like to use a large sized grass tip to make his fur. What's the largest size grass tip that I can buy? And where can I get it? TIA! icon_smile.gif

I don't know the largest , but I just used the regular one on mine ,, and you can use a large 32 star tip on the side to and it seemed to work just fine . heres mine it's not the best but it was for my 2yr old !

I used a small grass tip on a monster cake recently and my hand was aching afterwards. It took me forever! I know there's a larger grass tip out there, I just need to find it! Thanks though icon_smile.gif

I've done Elmo cupcakes before and used tip 233. I pulled up the multi-opening tips listing on the Wilton website, and you might be able to use 234, but the openings are more square than round.
