Colour Mill - Piping Tips
Tip #1A
Large round tip for smooth lines, domes, and filling
The Colour Mill #1A piping tip is a stainless steel pastry tip compatible with all disposable or reusable piping bags, with or without a coupler. Large round profile: it produces continuous, smooth lines without ridges, making it ideal for domes, filling, and thick lettering.
Professional-grade food-safe stainless steel: the tip retains its shape under pressure, does not deform over time, and remains dishwasher-safe for intensive use.

Recommended uses
- Filling cream puffs and éclairs by injection
- Smooth domes for individual entremets and bavarois
- Thick lettering and continuous lines with a piping cone on icing
Instructions
- Place the tip in an empty piping bag, with the nozzle toward the point, and cut the end level with the base for a neat fit
- Fill the bag two-thirds full with your mixture (buttercream, whipped ganache, stabilized whipped cream), pushing the air toward the tip
- Hold the bag vertically about 1 cm above the surface and squeeze with a steady motion; rinse the tip in hot soapy water after use (dishwasher-safe)
Please note: the consistency of the cream is the main factor determining the regularity of the pattern (it should hold a ribbon on the spatula): rinse the #1A tip immediately after use to prevent residue from drying in the large round profile.
Frequently asked questions
Is this round tip suitable for filling cream puffs?
Yes, this is one of its main uses: it allows you to inject the cream through a small hole made underneath the cream puff, without leaving a visible pattern.
Can you create very smooth domes with this tip?
Yes, the round, ridgeless opening creates a smooth surface when piping in a circular motion from the center outward.
What piping bag size is best for fine lettering?
A 23 cm bag offers greater precision and control for lettering or fine lines.
