Wilton 418-789 Carded Tip Cake Icer

This Wilton cake icer works perfectly. It fit inside of a large piping bag, and performed flawlessly. You can use either side and have a textured frosting or a smooth frosting. It was very easy to set up and use, even for someone who bakes often, but is by no means a professional. In addition, it was very easy to clean; it is large enough that cleaning it out is not an issue (or as difficult as cleaning some of the smaller ones can be). I own several baking tips from Wilton, all of which have lasted for 8+ years without any changing of shape, rust, damage, etc., so I am confident that this tip will last just as long. This tip is most convenient as it helps you not over ice a cake and goes much faster (and looks much prettier) than icing a cake with a knife or spatula. I used this along with an icing smoother to help the cake maintain a smooth texture, and to remove any excess frosting. I was using a very thin whipped cream, so a lot of icing was pushing out at once, so I would definitely recommend an icing smoother as well if you needed to limit the icing on the cake.

If you pair this Tip with a 18" or 24" pastry/decorating bag, you can frost/ice a cake in no time. One side is smooth, and the other has teeth to give a textured look. Great product, that is my "tip" for the day.

If you are making more than just the annual cake, do yourself a favor and get this. I thought it was silly at first...I mean, how hard is it to dump some frosting on a cake and spread it out? But I bought it for my cake class and it really does make it so much quicker and easier! For the minimal cost it is a great time saver. Makes icing a pull apart cake much much simpler. Definitely get a 16 inch icing bag too though, otherwise you have to refill it three times to ice one cake.

With a silver color, this cake icer tip was incredibly useful in the decorating process. It’s very big, but was exactly what I was looking for to help finish a cake off.

This cake icer did not immediately increase my baking skills as originally hoped, nor did it operate as an effective cheese grater. I would have gotten rid of it, except its mouth looks like that of a sharp-toothed monster, sighing with indifference. We have since become friends.

This is great! Thanks Wilton. I didn't know such a thing existed, maybe I'm a little slow to pick up on new things. Haha! This extra large frosting tip has helped cut my cake decorating time in half. No more crumb coating with a spatula, sometimes no crumb coating at all. This tip combined with the large pastry bag & turntable makes icing a cake a snap! Just takes a few passes with this cake iced tip, soon smoothing & that's it. I depend on reviews to help me decide if a product is something I should buy or something I need to pass on. That's why I write reviews & wish everyone would. Bottom line- this is a great time saver, wish I'd had it a long time ago!

We used this product to help ice our son's first birthday cake. It worked really well, leaving nice wide smooth runs of icing. You could (and we have) accomplish this with a spreading spatula, but this made it much easier and reduced the time to get the icing smooth by a lot. Overall great product that is solidly built.

Oh, Wilton oh Wilton! You save my life, my cake to be precise. I can't believe how awfully easy it is to Frost a whole cake using this tip. Frosting, Crumb coating, filling in a 10-inch 2layer cake was literally a piece of cake (pun intended) using this Tip & I hereby, recommend this Tip to everyone baking or caking—professionally or personally. This product is the quintessence of one of the tools—designed to make a bakers life trouble free.

Its really nice one! With using this piping Tip very very easy to cover a cake with butter cream Icing in less time. Its very useful for me. Cake makers must have this Tip!

La sortie de la douille fait 4,5 cm et peut soit sortir un glaçage uni soit cannelé. C'est parfait pour étaler la crème rapidement sur le gâteau. Il faut juste prévoir des poches à douille jetables ou y dédier une poche à douille spécifique vu qu'il faudra couper un embout assez grand pour qu'elle passe. Très contente de mon achat. Par contre prenez vous y à l'avance car le délai de livraison est assez long.

Liked the product, with huge size, it easy to pipe the sides of the cake

Loved it.

It used to take me ages with a spatula and a palette knife to evenly butter-ice the outside edges of celebration cakes. With this nozzle, it takes no time at all, just need to smooth it off with a palette knife when finished. I use it with a large disposible icing bag, but you could make do with a plastic sandwich bag if push came to shove. Good tool.
