Confused Over Nozzels
Hi everyone,
Ive spent hours looking at nozzels today and the more i look, the more im getting confused !
Ive noticed that they all have numbers and letters. Are these standard ?
I have 6 nozzels at the moment that was a set, they have numbers and letters on them.
I bought an extra one a ' closed star rose swirl' to do the pretty ' open rose' look on some cupcakes.
Although, i think i bought the wrong one. I have tried it and i cant do it ! It just looks a mess so i cried and gave up :-(
I dont know what im doing wrong? Is it my buttercream or me ?!!
I would love to be able to do this! But also i need a large one for this giant cupcake.
Does it need to be a particular one, like ' open star' or 'closed star' ?
I dont know which would look best on a giant cupcake?
Thank you for any help
A very confused
Lisa

Um..I got it right ? ? lol
That was a shock ! Thank you both :-)
I wasnt sure if the piping was any good, just thought the buttercream was a little better! ( anything was better than earlier today & yesterday lol )
Unfortuntley, i hadnt got any butter left, i had new tub of Stork, thought id give it one last try....and i ruined my first attempt at the giant cupcake :_( My own fault should of been patient !!
But at least the piping is better !!
I cant quite get it right to the edges of the cases, too scared to go over them !
I think it was definatley better using the block of butter, i will get some from Tesco tomorow and try it again.
It felt so much different though, much firmer, it was a bit of a shock when i started piping!
Im still having a prob with air in the bag though?
Thank you so much, couldnt of got it, without you both ;-)

Hi Lisa. From reading your posts & others, and looking at the measurements given, I'm guessing you are not in the US, but I want to tell you the tip number I use for something like this - 1M. It is an open star tip, and quite large.
I agree with leaving out the milk - use only the flavoring for the moisture content. If it is too stiff, then add milk in very, very small amounts. If it becomes too thin, add more sugar & mix well.
Good luck!

Thank you so much Goreti :-) Thank you Julie S :-)
Unfortunatly, i wont be doing much piping practise for a while,the lady has asked for her mixer back. So i have nothing now. I dont know when i can borrow it again.
My best friend who i borrowed the larger mixer from, to do my birthday cake moved back home to Cardiff shortly after so im kind of stuck ! LOL
Thank you all so much for your help

Oh Lisa this is a shame. Why don't you look on Ebay for a second hand stand mixer?
