These tips are HUGE, I was hoping to use them for flowers for cookies but that isn't going to work :/ hopefully I can use them for cupcakes. A set of bags were suggested with them which I also purchased however the bags that were suggested are extremely to small for the tips, odd material, and busted within seconds the first time I tried to use them.

Haven't actually used these yet, but they seem very sturdy and just as listed. I can't wait to get baking! I'll update if there is a problem. However, the only thing that I can see will be a problem is operator error. That means...maybe I don't have the talent. They are a large nozzle so won't fit the typical sized coupler, so you will just drop them in your bag directly and snip the hole a bit bigger than usual.

I tried some plastic Russian flower tips by Wilton, but these are way better... they make better, more detailed flowers. I haven't been able to try them all yet, but the ones I did (roses & tulips) are great! I made a cake recently using the tulip tip as the border around the cake & it came out so pretty. Highly recommend this set! They are big too, no need for a coupler, just cut the end of your piping bag & slide it in.

Tried them all for the first time today and I had so much fun. Some tips yield the same results/look and if I'd have it my way I would only get 3 of them. I still need to practice A LOT and for now I need to stick to the ones that are easier to work with. Also, I have yet to find a good stiff buttercream recipe for the perfect piping consistency. Today I used a stiff consistency frosting made with all shortening. Need to find a recipe that is made with all butter so I can eat it lol.

Every tip requires a different amount of pressure plus you have to figure out which ones look good piped shorter or taller. The only thing that I do not like about these tips is that they use up a lot of frosting. Not only that, the last two or three inches of frosting is unusable. Once you only have frosting left that sits right in the piping tip, it's difficult to pipe from there on. You can only pipe until you can squeeze the bag. Wouldn't recommend pushing the frosting through with your fingers. It's terribly hard to have a good control. I hope I am making sense! Other than that I think these tips are good to have in a baker's arsenal. Still glad I gave them a whirl. I will practice some more and hopefully I will get so much better!

These are not going to be your most icing-efficient (a little more waste) and you will have to practice, but the results are FUN. I'm enjoying using them for butter mints, making a green leaf base with different colored flower mints, totally worth the effort, and not as big a deal if I mess up a few, each one is in a different individual small paper candy cup.
