Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Wilton Round Tip 3 make?

Tip 3 creates clean, rounded lines at a small diameter — finer than Tip 4 or 5, yet not as delicate as Tips 1 and 2. It is one of the most commonly used tips for royal icing biscuit decoration, outlining shapes cleanly before the flood icing is added. It also works well for writing on cupcakes and piping small dots with buttercream or royal icing.
