Try Wilton 1M. I use that or sometimes the 2D drop flower tip if I want less grooves.

The closest thing I could find to that would be the 1M tip. Here is a picture:

Looks like more ridges in it than the Wilton 1M....I'm gonna go look here to see if I can find it. I like it too! icon_smile.gif

Couldn't find the 1M on here to compare to....I think I'll keep looking. If I find anything, I'll come back and post.

Could it be one of the tips from the dessert decorator pro? I know that they make an attachment to do this, but I am not sure what it is called.

Other Wilton tips with more ridges include 1B, 1C, 1E, 1G, 2C, and 2F. If you go to sugarcraft.com and search the tips section you'll find pics of these 3/4 down the page. It may be a different brand though too. Do you need to be exact to the cupcake?

I asked a lady at walmart what tip they used for cupcakes like that and she said the tip number was 828 and the name brand started with a A but I can't remember what the name was.

I was wondering what tip made that look to.
I seen this same cup cake top on an ice cream cup(to make Easter bunny)and I couldn't get it out or anything else for that matter from the girl that worked in that store.It's so funny how some decorators are so afraid to give you any tips it makes me sick,don't they know there's other ways to find out?When someone asks me I always tell them and give them advice from my experience.
That's way I love cc.

I'm pretty sure it's an Ateco tip ... I have all of the large ones, and I think it's one of them. Here's a picture of the large Ateco tips:

2sdae - this site has the Ateco

I've never ordered from them, but...

I use the 1M and 4B for cupcakes (4B gives more ridges), and I have found that you need to squeeze the bag really firmly to get that nice presentation.
