1M Open Star Buttercream Piping Tip

The 1M Open Star Buttercream Piping Tip is one of the most popular piping tips for creating classic, bakery-style cupcake swirls and decorative cake borders. With its open star design, this tip produces beautifully defined ridges and smooth, consistent results that are instantly recognisable.

This piping tip is ideal for cupcake swirls, rosettes, shells, stars, and textured borders on cakes and desserts. Because the 1M offers a balance of definition and softness, it works beautifully with buttercream, ganache-style frostings, and other smooth icings. It is a favourite for both beginners and professional decorators due to its forgiving nature and versatility.

For best results, use smooth, well-conditioned buttercream and apply steady, even pressure. Vary your angle and pressure to create different effects, from tall cupcake swirls to elegant rosette finishes. The 1M tip fits standard piping bags and couplers, allowing easy tip changes while decorating.

Made from durable, food-safe metal, this piping tip is designed for repeated use and easy cleaning. Rinse immediately after use or wash in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly before storing.
