Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a closed star tip different from an open star tip?

Closed star tips have tightly spaced, fine prongs that produce sharp, well-defined ridges in the piped icing. Open star tips have wider gaps between prongs, giving a softer, more voluminous look. The Tip C6K closed star is the better choice when you want precise, structured results — for example, matching shell borders or uniform rosettes across a cake.

Is the Loyal Tip C6K suitable for Swiss meringue buttercream?

Yes — the Tip C6K works well with Swiss meringue, Italian meringue, and American buttercream. The closed star opening holds its shape clearly even in silkier frostings. For best results, ensure your buttercream is at the right consistency — slightly stiffer buttercream will hold the ridge definition more clearly.
