I use Tip 2D I think it is. It is the one used for drop flowers.
Which tip do I need to use in order to get that nice big swirl look to it? Like the ones antonia74 makes. Is it just a start tip? TIA

for the cupcakes I did this w/end, I used the attached tip. I have no idea what size it is, i bought it at a catering shop. I took a photo of it next to the Wilton No 21 tip so you can get an idea of how big it is.

Thanks so much, everyone! I used the 2D, the other day, and loved the outcome. But I want to experiment, so next time I'll use another of the ones suggested. I don't have a 1M, so I'll have to get that one, but do have lots of star and flower tips, so I'm gonna just play one day. ![]()
Nati - I have never seen a tip like that before...wish I could find one! Man, is it huge, or what?! lol
It gave super results on your cupcakes ![]()
Those cupcakes look amazing. I am drooling.

Nati,

Your cupcakes look awesome! I especially like the ones with the billion roses on top-too awesome!!

No biggie on the buttercream, it's just Solite mixed with pure icing sugar (powdered sugar).
You mix 200gms of solite, with 460gms of pure icing sugar and 60 gms of water. The rose cupcakes were used using the same buttercream. Solite is a vegetable shortening, i imagine similar to what you guys call Crisco. I also added a bit of brown to make the colour not be white, so it was more natural looking.
Nati
Nati... I know that Solite has been recently new for you.. are you sold on it? Will you still use the stuff from the past or is it solite all the way?? If so what is it that you prefer... taste, texture, something else
price hahahahahaha
But im pretty sold on the Cupcake Cafe Buttercream for taste, not easy to pipe with though.
