Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a petal tip 123 and the larger 125 or 127?
The number refers to the size of the tip opening. Tip 123 produces a medium-width petal, ideal for mid-scale ruffles and smaller cakes or cupcakes. Tip 125 and 127 are progressively wider and are used for larger, bolder ruffle effects on full-size cake tiers.

What icing consistency works best with a petal tip?
A medium-stiff buttercream works best for defined ruffles and petals. Too soft and the petals collapse; too stiff and they crack or won't feather properly. A ratio of roughly 4:1 icing sugar to butter at room temperature is a reliable starting point.
