Afternoon all,
I have watched a couple of You Tube videos in the last couple of days as I want to start getting more practise at BC iced cakes. In several of them, the decorator seems to be using a large flat icing nozzle/tip as a fast/clean way to put on the BC before starting to smooth with a spatula. I've searched at all my local cake deco shops but no one seems to know what this tip is. Can anyone enlighten me - make and number would be great if you know it then I can look on the Internet.
Thank you
Jenny

The one I have is a wilton 789. It is like a giant basket weave tip. It is flat on one side and ridged on the other. Comes in handy every now and then. A lot of times though I don't even use it. You have to have the giant bag to go with it and I find that by the time I fill the big bag, I could have already put my icing on my cake with a spatula. HTH

This tip is often refered to as the cake icer tip.
It is 2" wide. You will need an 18" bag to hold it.
