Your questions, our advice
What's the difference between the Wilton 16 tip and an open star tip like the #1M?
The Wilton 16 tip has more closely spaced teeth than an open star tip like the #1M: its ridges are finer and more even, creating a subtler effect on borders.
Is the Wilton 16 tip suitable for layer cake borders?
Yes, the Wilton 16 tip is commonly used to pipe neat ridged borders along the top and bottom of layer cakes, either in a continuous line or in repeated dots.
Which frosting gives the best results with the Wilton 16 tip?
Firm buttercream at a cool room temperature best retains the ridges of the Wilton 16 tip without drooping after piping.
