I have been collecting Wilton decorating tips over the past few years, buying them one at a time as I need them/want to play with them. I am building my collection slowly (I currently only have six decorating tips) but the ones I have are ones I use often/look forward to using more often.
These are the most recent additions to my collection and some photos of the fun I've had with them.
1A tip (Large Round).
I bought this one so I could make some hi-hat cupcakes. I definitely want to try the peanut butter ones from this blog, as they look decadent and insane (more icing than cupcake!) but I haven't found an opportunity to make them yet.
Just fooling around with some Marshmallow buttercream, I practiced making some 1A swirls.
2D tip (Drop Flower).
This one is similar to my 1M tip, which is my go to tip for decorating cupcakes. I did some practicing with this one that involved playing with colour as well. I put a few lines of colour on the inside of a piping bag with a toothpick, which gave the edges of the frosting a simple but fancy look.
#233 (Grass tip).
There are a number of different projects I want to try with this tip, from a hobbit hole cake to monsters (Elmo or Cookie). When baseball season comes around again, I'd also love to make a batch of these baseball cupcakes. This was my first go at making grass - I was very happy with it!

Neato on the collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI have no idea if something like these were among my mother's baking collection.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how long these have been around. I don't think my Mom had ones like these, but she still made us the best b-day cakes. It is overwhelming all the different supplies you can get now. I'm building my collection slowly.
