Piping tip Stalgast 517031

A ribbon tip creates smooth, ridged lines and decorative flourishes on cakes, pastries and desserts. The flat, slotted opening shapes soft mixtures into ribbons, ruffles and scalloped edges as they pass through. This method relies on steady pressure from a piping bag and a tip that resists clogging, so the flow stays even and the pattern repeats without interruption.

The operator fills a piping bag with buttercream, meringue or whipped cream, fits the ribbon tip into the coupler, and secures it with a ring. Gentle, consistent pressure on the bag forces the mixture through the D-2.0 mm slot, producing a continuous ribbon of uniform width. The 16 mm diameter of the tip gives enough surface area to guide the bag steadily, while the narrow opening keeps the flow controlled and the edges sharp.

Made from food-safe stainless steel, the tip withstands repeated washing and resists corrosion from acidic ingredients. Its smooth interior prevents snagging and allows quick cleaning between colours or mixtures.

The 16 mm size fits standard professional piping couplers, and the D-2.0 mm opening is sized for medium-consistency mixtures. This combination balances detail and output, letting the operator cover larger areas without sacrificing precision.

Cleaning follows the same steps as any metal piping tip: rinse immediately after use, soak in warm water if residue hardens, and scrub with a soft brush to clear the slot. Drying thoroughly prevents water spots and maintains the tip's finish.
