I read that someone was looking for this tip an so was I ..

I went on ebay and found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Loyal-S.....2a05f4d343.

Or bakeryfixptyltd < this is the person selling them .. they are $2.88 U.S.$

Look luck & hope this helps ...

Tried looking up the link but got an ebay page with the message "item not avail."

The one offered in Australia?

Looks very similar to the Ateco 869 tip. Can someone post a cupcake or something decorated with this tip??

Thank you!!!!

They are an Australian brand, and yes, being plastic (and paying that much for one!) I would recommend you be careful with storing and cleaning the tip.

I suspect you can find similar in Wilton, perhaps? I use all different types of tips, but I like Loyals for piping masses of buttercream swirls etc, using a big disposable piping bag and one of these Loyal tips (no coupler) in the tip of the bag.

HTH

I'm one that always has to live & learn .. I'll find out .. I got a box to put them in . Will I do this again ... NO! .. My son would take this computer away from me if he found out .. LOL !! He thinks I'm crazy now because of what I spend for cake supplies etc .. Thanks for your in-put, I never can get enough some days ..

Ladies I am sorry, but I have some bad news!!!

You can buy those tips in U.S. for much much less $$$....

I purchased a set of 4 of those plastic tips (not the #17) from Ace Mart restaurant supply store for less than $3.00 or even maybe for less than $2.00, I can not remember.

Then I googled and found the supplier in U.S. and purchased a set of 12 piping tips (including #17) in a proper storage box for $13.55 + shipping (reasonable shipping).

Check thier site and if you still can you might want to cancel your e-bay order and purchase from them.

Again, I am sorry if this is not good news!

It looks to me like the wilton 1M would be the same... I am going to go make some swirls and see ...

I didn't have any cupcakes.. but here is an idea of 1M and 1C.. stupid 1B picture won't load and it is my favorite.. lol

Ya know, just to add this to the conversation...I have never seen a Tip 17 in the Loyal tips. The largest I have seen is an 11 or 13 I am positive. And that was massive. I think the closest to the 1M is the 7, and this type does not have as deep a cut into the star as the 1M.

Oh and one more thing, none of the big Wilton tips are even close to the size of the Loyal tips. The 17 refers to the diameter of the opening, for this tip, which is the largest Loyal one, the opening is 17mm

Cool! Thanks Nati My cake deco store simply doesn't stock above a 13, but after I posted the above post ages ago I did see some online on the Loyal site I now have an idea for a few uses for this massive tip!!

The tips are Pastrycook tips not cake decorating tips

I just bought a 6B from Wilton today at AC Moore and it is bigger than the 1M I wonder how it compares to the 17 loyal tip. I was about to order it but came across the wilton one today so holding off for now to see if the compore. I paid $1.49 for it.
