Wilton Specialty Piping Tip #81

The Wilton Specialty Piping Tip 81 features a small, curved opening that creates narrow, slightly cupped petals — the essential tip for piping chrysanthemum (mum) and daisy-style flowers directly onto cakes and cupcakes. Each squeeze produces a single curved petal, and building up multiple rows of petals around a centre point creates a realistic, layered flower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Wilton Specialty Tip 81 make?

Tip 81 creates individual curved petals that build up into chrysanthemum and daisy flower shapes. Hold the tip with the curved opening facing inward, pipe a short stroke toward the flower centre, and release. Repeat around the centre, building outward row by row to create a full, layered bloom. Medium-consistency buttercream gives the best petal definition and structure.
