050 - Ruffle Piping Tip

The 050 ruffle tip is a flat, fan-shaped piping tip designed for creating layered ruffles, ribbon borders, and petal effects on buttercream or fondant-covered cakes. Hold it at a slight angle and use a back-and-forth wrist motion to build the ruffled texture, great for tiered wedding cakes or adding a vintage look to a simple round. Pick one up for $1.49 at Gloria's in Culver City and pair it with a coupler so you can swap tips mid-cake without re-bagging your icing.
