I have been watching these tutorials on different swaggs and I just can't get over how pretty this one swagg is! It looks like minimal effort because all you need is this one icing tip but the videos never say what tip number it is.  Here is the video and they start using the tip at 3:11


If someone knows what tip number it is, please tell me! I need to get it pronto

Looks like 070. If you pause the video, the side slit/opening is straight.

It's definitely either #040 or #070. I have them both. Let me tell you, it isn't as easy as it looks. She's probably been piping for years. Ya gotta practice. Been quite awhile since I piped a whole cake.  I usually try on a over turned bowl. Scrape off, abd keep trying till I get it right. It's all about the right angel and the proper pressure.

I agree w/jchuck - it does take practice to get it just right!   I had a set of those when they 1st came out on the market and loved, loved them!

It says on the video that it is whipped cream. It could be better creme or either stabilized whip cream. I have always used Wilton's recipe for stabilized whip cream using piping gel to stabilize.

They work just fine w/b'cream.  I prefered crusting that was just a tad on the stiff side.  The softer the b'cream the harder it was to work w/those tips.
