The Wilton 2D Piping Tip is a versatile tip for cake decorating, suitable for piping stars, ropes, and shells. It is best used with a larger 16-inch bag with a star tip 4B. For piping stars, ropes, and shells, hold the bag at a 90° angle with the star end of the tip towards the edge and the petal end towards the center.

Tips 233 and 234 create some of the most celebrated and easily accomplished decorations. These finely cut multi-opening tips, often referred to as grass tips, pipe a number of pull-out lines simultaneously. To use these tips, prepare a 16-inch decorating bag with tip 789, place the cake on a turntable, and squeeze a continuous ribbon of icing, spiraling until it covers the edge of the cake top.

To make one chart of all Wilton decorating bag tips and summarize all Wilton icings in one page, fit the decorating bag with Multi-Opening Decorating Tip 233 and fill 1/2 full with medium consistency icing. Hold the bag 90 degrees and use the tip to create a spiral pattern on the cake.
