How are pastry tips measured?

Types of piping tips Some manufacturers stamp the size on the side of the tip. For example, the number 4 may indicate a 4-mm tip, but it may also just refer to a catalog number and have nothing to do with size. When in doubt, measure the tip’s opening to be sure. You can buy tips individually or in sets.

What size are piping bags?

The Better Homes and Gardens test kitchen typically uses 12- or 18-inch bags.

What is the difference between a piping bag and a pastry bag?

A regular bag will stretch and bulge with heavy or extended use and it’s a pain in the you-know-what to have a bag actually break along a seam while you’re trying to pipe royal icing on to a cake. A pastry bag will not stretch or give, even with a thick frosting and an extended decorating time.

How do you choose piping tips?

Always make sure that the fatter end of the piping tip is closest to the cake, with the thinner end facing upwards. This will ensure super delicate and defined ruffles and petals!
