If you only ever own one big round tip, make it this one. The Wilton Tip #1A is the workhorse behind those tall, swoopy cupcake swirls you see and immediately want to eat.
It's a large stainless steel round tip with an opening of roughly 1.3cm, so it pipes a generous ribbon of buttercream in one smooth go - no fussing, no fighting the bag. Beyond swirls, it's brilliant for piping neat macaron circles, bold borders, fat dots and beads, big dollops of whipped cream, even choux and meringue. Happy with buttercream, royal icing, ganache and most things you can get through a piping bag.
Beginners love it because it's forgiving - the shape does the work for you. Experienced decorators love it because it's fast.
