One-Squeeze 5-Petal Flowers & Swirled Flowers Piping Tip – Ateco #172 Drop Flower Tip

Create quick, beautifully defined 5-petal buttercream flowers with the Ateco #172 Drop Flower Piping Tip. Its five-cut opening forms five petals at once, making it easy to create consistent floral decorations with a simple squeeze.

Pipe straight down for a classic 5-petal drop flower, or add a slight twist while squeezing to create a dimensional swirled flower. Use #172 for individual blossoms, repeating floral borders, flower clusters, and decorative accents on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts.

Great for the vintage floral cake trend: Use #172 for buttercream flower clusters, scattered blossoms, filler flowers, and floral borders. Combine the 5-petal flowers with shells, swags, ruffles, rosettes, and pearl piping to add floral detail to vintage and Lambeth-inspired cake designs.
