Frequently Asked Questions

What designs can I make with the Loyal Tip 161?

The Tip 161 is best known for rose petals and ruffles. You can build a full buttercream rose by angling the tip and rotating a flower nail, or pipe ruffle layers directly onto a cake for a textured, layered look. It also works well for petal borders and fan-shaped cupcake toppers.

Do I need a coupler to use a Loyal petal tip?

A coupler lets you swap tips without emptying your piping bag, which is handy when building roses that use multiple tip sizes. The Standard Tip 161 is compatible with a standard Loyal coupler. You can also pipe directly from the bag without a coupler if you prefer.
