What number star tip do people use the most? I have a #30 but i am thinking it is a bit too small and might want a slightly bigger one, which one would that be? What's the next number up?

Also what number is that big star tip people usually use for their cupcakes?

Thanks icon_smile.gif

I personally don't use star tips that much, but the star tips sold with the Wilton cupcake kit are the 1M and #22. I think the tip you were wondering about is the 1m. Hope that helps!

great! thanks everyone

Actually just to add something else, how does everyone pronounce the word coupler? Do you pronounce it 'coop-ler' or 'cup-ler'?

1M (2110) is an open star tip.
2D is a closed star: the ridges in the swirl of icing going to be bigger.
