Just having some fun again....

I like tip #233...it's the one that you can make grass with or fuzzy hair on the 3D bear...it's so easy to use but people who don't know think I've decorated one strand at a time!! hee hee! icon_biggrin.gif

my most used tip is a tip 21, i use it for everything from boarder to star fill ins. Can't stand filling in with a tip 16 just takes too long.

I love, love, love the basketweave look. For me it's very easy and quick, and it looks beautiful. I would make all of my cakes with that look, but I have to challenge myself by trying new things.

can't think of one particular one! I love them all...but I must say I love 352 for leaves! I was surprised how many people didnt know about that tip for leaves usually they use 67....

you're right, I haven't tried tip 352 yet either...that's kinda why I posted this question...to see if I could find out about other tips that aren't shown in the wilton classes that are neat to use for special designs/decorations!

thanks!

I bought these specialty ruffle tips at Sugarcraft that are amazing. They're my favorite. I use tip 21 the most though.

my favourite are ANY of the drop flower tips. They are sooo great, you can just put them on bags of different colour icing. Press, twist and you have a beautiful flower, many of them..different colours and very cute...These tips also come in different sizes so you can have small drop flowers or large ones. I do all my drop flowers in buttercream and then freeze until i need them. This is a great way to get rid of that little bit of leftover icing, and then you always have emergency flowers. you never know... icon_wink.gif

Tips 352 and 349 are my favorite too. I require that all of my Course I students buy tip 352 because tip 67 is NOT a good leaf-making tip. It's good for a little ruffle but not leaves.

Cakepro and Flayvurdfun, what a GREAT tip. Thank you so much. I have gotten so frustrated using tip 67. I am going right now to check to see if I have 352 and if not, I'm buying it today.

Thanks again.

My Wilton instructor also had us get tip 352 and use it instead of 67, what a difference in leaves. Way easier and looks better too !!!
