K&S Artisan Russian Piping Tips Deluxe Cake Decorating Supplies 69 Genuine Baking Supplies Set- 34 Icing Piping Tips 2 Ball Tips 2 Leaf Tips 30 Frosting Bag 3 Couplers Large Cupcake Decorating Kit

I bought these for a couple reasons. Firstly because I like decorating cakes, but my hands can't handle doing flowers the old fashioned way anymore. And also to see if this would make a good gift for a friend that makes cupcakes often.Using a regular buttercream works fine, no need for extra stiff (if it's too stiff and dry, they frosting doesn't stick and you end up with pretty blobs stuck to your tips). These were EASY to do! All those flowers stuck to the side were applied directly to the cake, like stamps. The leaf and vine were my own tips. The kit doesn't come with couplers that fit the ball tips or the included leaf tips, but you can just jam the leaf tips in the end of a cut bag. That doesn't work with the ball tips, since the ball is almost as big as the base of those tips so they pop out of the bag with a firm squeeze. The leaf tips do not fit on a standard coupler, but work fine without one.These tips are excellent quality. You'll need to find your own coupler for the ball tips and leaf tips, or leaf tips can be used without a coupler.

After I received my piping tips, I received two emails from K & S making sure that I was satisfied with my order and that if I needed anything, they would gladly assist. I waited to write my review until after I used the tips. I have read on previous reviews that people were disappointed about not having a storage container. The tips come in a cute shrink wrapped box that I think is delightful and makes me smile whenever I look at it. It may not be a plastic box, but it is a box and it keeps everything nice and neat inside. Each Russian piping tip came individually wrapped except for the two ball tips and smaller tips. The two couplers were in their own separate bags as well and a little leaflet of each tip and their flower.I baked two cakes and my daughter decorated one. I tried the two couplers, the silicone bag, and a select few piping tips. I found like other reviews that the piping bags that are included ripped easily especially when using the couplers. I really enjoyed using the silicone bag. The extra frosting was easy to get out and reuse again. For our first time using the Russian piping tips, I think our cakes turned out really well.

A very complete set with all kinds of fun possibilities for decorating. I particularly like these for decorating cupcakes. The piping tips are very good quality and they come in a nice and sturdy box that makes storing them easy as well. I love that it is so easy to use multiple colors with these tips to create a very professional look. And believe me, I am no baking professional and not even particularly artistic yet these tips make even my cakes and cupcakes look good. There are so many tips to choose from I don't know if I'll ever even use them all - a great set and it would be a fun gift to anyone who likes to bake cakes.

First, I want to address some complaints I read from other buyers and have included some pictures for clarification. The description says they come in a “beautiful gift box.” You can judge for yourself if you agree. Keep in mind this does not say it comes in a functional storage box. I have included a pic so you can see how it was packaged. The biggest complaint that I saw was that this didn’t come with an instruction book. I included a screenshot of the Amazon description where I highlighted one place where it clearly says that it is an ebook which will be emailed to you. In fact, the Amazon description mentions in three different places this information! If you were expecting a book, then I’m wondering if you clearly read the entire description before purchase. It also says that if you don’t get your email, contact them and they will send it right away. This happened to me. I sent them a message through Amazon and they sent me the ebook PDF before the day was over. I printed mine out which I included a picture of. Please ignore the fact that it’s black and white. My printer is dying. I have been decorating cakes since the 90’s and flowers always intimidated me. These tips are so easy to use, though! I have 4 girls and they’ll probably use these a ton. I think they’re a great buy; good quality at a low price.

This order arrived in good time and it was well-packaged, all except the piping bags fitting into a box about 5" x 5". These are intricate piping tips which make marvelous decorations. This set includes a coupler that allows 3 different colors to be used at once, and a small instruction booklet that includes a buttercream recipe. There are many Youtube videos available showing using these kinds of tips in detail. The tips are heavy stainless steel and larger than conventional tips. They are fun to use and the end products -- piped flowers and leaves and whatever -- are gorgeous.

First thought is that these things use Alot of butter cream. But of course, they are huge compared to even standard larger tips. Second the bags the come with this aren't the greatest quality but they come as a freebee so just order a pack. I'm glad I used them to just experiment though because it took some figuring out with the tri-tipped coupler.I only use maybe ten of the 20 something tips I have. I ran out of buttercream these will take some practice to see how much pressure, how tall to make them, etc. I love the color gradient though! But I do recommend using a larger, good quality bag. Even a reusable one would be better. But over all these tips are worth the money.Tip. Practice on something that's not a cake or whatever you plan to eat. I just used parchment snd a cutting boardI cannot wait to try out the ball Russian piping tips next!
