One-Squeeze 6-Petal Flowers & Swirled Flowers Piping Tip – Ateco #171

Create quick, beautifully defined 6-petal buttercream flowers with the Ateco #171 Drop Flower Piping Tip. Its six-cut opening forms six petals at once, allowing you to create consistent flowers with a simple squeeze instead of piping each petal individually.

Pipe straight down for a classic 6-petal drop flower, or add a slight twist while squeezing to create a dimensional swirled flower. Use it 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 #171 to create buttercream flower clusters, scattered blossoms, filler flowers, and floral borders. Mix several icing colors and combine the flowers with shells, swags, ruffles, rosettes, and pearls for vintage and Lambeth-inspired cake designs.
