Ateco - 6 Piece Decorating Tube Set, Includes Stainless Steel Tips: 804, 808, 827, 864, 846, 898

This set consists of five large pastry/frosting tips that are usually not found in boxed sets of ordinary decorative frosting tips. They are commercial quality and made of heavy stainless steel rather than merely plated like many of the less expensive brands found in hobby stores. If washed and dried completely after each use, these should last for years. Included in the set are: 804 - a plain, round tip with a medium sized opening 864 - a French star tip with medium sized opening 846 - a closed star tip with a large sized opening 808 - a plain, round tip with a large sized opening 827 - an open star tip with a large sized opening 898 - a basketweave tip with a large sized opening The last number of each tip refers to the relative size of the tip opening, the higher the number, the larger the opening. The 808 and 827 tips are perfect for frosting cupcakes with a large swirl finish. The 808 or 804 can be used for filling pastry shells or mini muffin tins with batter. The 864 and 827 tips are used for a more decorative star design finish or embellishment. I found that the open star and basketweave tips were too large to use with a medium coupler and a pastry bag. Instead, I used disposable pastry bags without a coupler and cut the end of the bag to fit the largest of the tips. While I'm still looking for some extra large tips for use with choux pastry, this set is a good addition to my baking tools and I use them often. Recommended.

So far so good! I haven’t used this product yet but I love the feel of it & can tell it’s going to last a long time . The case it comes in is convenient & sturdy as well. There’s a variety of sizes & different tip designs.

This company has been around over 70 years. I have my mother's set and I wanted to add to it. The tips are stainless steel of great quality. Instructions come with some sets. You can always get advise on line for beginers.

These were shipped right on time and I was so excited! They were nice and big for decorating cakes and whole cupcakes, not decorations. But when I went to Michaels to buy some extra large couplers for my new tips, only 3 of the tips will fit on the coupler. The other 3 are too big and I haven't been able to find a coupler big enough for them. But it's still a good deal and I'm excited to use them!(

Don’t waste time testing a dozen piping tips — this kit has everything you need. Between the 6 piping tips in this, it has something for every task: cookies, cake icing, detailed designs, etc. I specifically was looking for tips for piping butter cookies, but found these tips can really work for anything. They are big enough for dough like cookies and churros, but also some are small enough for me to detailed icing work. What really impressed me was the value. I had previously bought 4 individual tips (around $4–5 each) , but ended up returning them. With this set you pay $8 for 6, which is a much better bang for you buck that buying individual ones. Before you order a whole bunch of different tips looking for the perfect size and design, save yourself the time and money and just buy this kit, especially if you are looking for a size 8 piping tip!

easy to clean

These tips are of beautiful quality! I am a newbie to using a pastry bag and tips but I needed the pastry bag for making macarons. I love cooking so it was just a matter of time before purchasing a pastry bag. Ateco seems to have the best reviews, and most used by commercial and/or serious home bakers. I am very satisfied with my purchase of these nice stainless steel tips. I only had one issue and that was with Amazon recommending standard couplers being purchased with these. As a result I purchased a set of 4 couplers for which I currently have no use. Being a newbie to using a pastry bag, I had no idea about different size tips vs. couplers. These tips didn't have "large" in the description, so unfortunately it didn't even occur to me. While I typically read reviews, this time I just saw the stars indicating high ratings for these tips and just bought them along with the suggested couplers. The tips themselves should not lose stars due to Amazon's incomplete description. I'll inevitably require another pastry bag with standard tips so I will have another use for those other couplers sometime in the future. But it did require me to additionally purchase the large couplers and pay extra for quicker shipping because I had a time constraint.

Great set
