No. 4B French Star Piping Tip — Multi-Tooth Crown, Seamless 304 Stainless Steel
The 4B is the tip behind the tightly ruffled, star-covered cake. Its multi-tooth French star crown is cut with a dense ring of fine teeth, so each squeeze leaves a small, sharply defined rosette — pipe them side by side and the whole cake surface fills with even, repeating texture instead of flat icing.
What you can pipe with it
- Star-covered celebration cakes — pipe small rosettes in rows to cover a whole cake with consistent texture
- Cupcake and muffin tops — a single squeeze gives a neat, high rosette that holds its shape
- Meringue and zephyr — fine teeth give sharper points and more definition than a wide-tooth tip
- Borders and piped detail — the compact crown keeps small work tidy
Specifications
Why seamless 304 stainless steel
- Drawn from a single piece — no welded seam for icing to collect in, and no joint where corrosion starts
- Resists the acids in fruit fillings and repeated commercial washing
- Holds its fine teeth instead of distorting after months of daily use
- Uncoated, so there is no surface layer that can wear off
Choosing between 4B, 2F, 2D and 1M
- 4B — multi-tooth French star. The densest, finest rosette; the one to pick for star-covered cakes
- 2F — 8-tooth closed star crown. Floral drop work and hydrangea domes. See the 2F piping tip
- 2D — 6-cut closed star. Bolder, deeper ridges for rosettes and borders. See the 2D piping tip
- 1M — large open star. Wider, softer swirls for cupcake tops and ice cream. See the 1M piping tip

FAQ
What is a 4B tip used for? Covering cakes with repeating star rosettes, plus cupcake and muffin tops, meringue and piped borders.
How is 4B different from 2D or 2F? The 4B has a multi-tooth French star crown — many fine teeth — so the rosette is denser and finer. The 2D is a 6-cut closed star for bolder ridges, and the 2F is an 8-tooth closed star crown for drop-flower and hydrangea work.
