What's the secret to a #70 tip?
I tried to make royal icing lilies yesterday using a #70 tip. Could not for the life of me get a nice sharp point at the end of my petals. The icing kept breaking. So I thought my icing was too stiff...thinned it and still had the same problem. I gave up!

I use a 352 instead. Even my Wilton teacher doesn't like the 70.
Just found this tip--Tip 67, 68, 69, and 70 may make a lousy leaf but try pulling it toward you... it makes two ruffles on either side of a straight line. Great for scoring off cakes into individual servings. When cut down the center line all pieces have a ruffle border. Tip 80 make dainty lily of the valley in one easy squeeze. Just don't forget the tip 352 for the leaf behind.

I have not made buttercream flowers in so long I will have to get my tips out and see what I can (or can not) still do! I have been making the gumpaste flowers for a few years now and just don't ever use all my gazillion tips!

you may even need to pry open the "mouth" a little more. i heard from another wilton instructor that several of those leaf tips are too narrow to get anything good out of them.

I like 352 also. Those leaf tips are such a pain and I think 352 makes a much more natural looking leaf. Lilies don't need that line going down the middle, either.

I tried that. It' didn't work any better. I'm going to stick with my trusty 352 tip. :)

My thoughts exactly, Theresa... lilies do not need the line!! 352 works all the time.

For the lily of the valley all you do is squeeze and release.
