Ateco 848 Piping Tip

The 848 is a closed star tip, which is ideal for creating classic, defined rosettes, swirls, and borders. Because the teeth are closed, it produces a more textured, ridged finish compared to an open star tip.

Yes, this tip is designed to fit standard piping bags. While it can be used directly inside a bag, it is best paired with a large-sized coupler to allow for easy tip changes without emptying your icing.

This tip is crafted from durable stainless steel, which resists rust and maintains its shape over time. It is dishwasher safe, though hand washing with a small brush is recommended to ensure the fine teeth remain clean and free of icing residue.

Absolutely. The closed star design is very forgiving and helps create consistent, professional-looking results even if your piping pressure isn't perfectly steady. It is a staple tool for anyone learning to decorate cakes or cupcakes.

Yes, the sturdy construction of the 848 handles stiff buttercream, royal icing, and whipped cream well. Its durable metal teeth won't bend under the pressure required to pipe thicker icings.
