Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Wilton 8B tip make?

The 8B produces the largest, most dramatic open star swirls of the standard Wilton tip range. Pipe a full cupcake rosette by starting at the outside edge and spiralling inward and upward, building height with each rotation. The deep ridges created by its teeth give buttercream a professional, textured finish that catches the light beautifully.

What coupler do I use with the 8B tip?

The 8B is an extra-large tip that fits a large coupler, or can be inserted directly into a large piping bag without a coupler. Browse the full piping tips range and all Wilton products at Baking Pleasures.
