116 - Rose Piping Tip

The 116 is a large curved petal tip used for piping oversized roses and dramatic ruffle borders directly onto buttercream cakes. Hold the wide end against the surface and rotate as you pipe to build open, layered blooms, or drag it along the cake side for a cascading ruffle effect. Pick one up at Gloria's in Culver City for $1.65, a low-commitment way to try a technique that photographs well on tiered cakes.
