Open star tips are ideal for shells, borders and swags; round tips create strings, dots and pearl details; petal tips make ruffles and frills; and specialty tips add the dimensional borders and layered details that give Lambeth cakes their distinctive vintage look.

For beginners: start with about five piping tips in different shapes and sizes. A small and medium open star, a round tip, a petal or ruffle tip, and one specialty tip will give you plenty of options for creating a Lambeth-style cake.
