Firstly, this cupcake is not my creation…well, it is in my dreams! It’s from Petunia’s Pies & Pastries in Portland, Oregon and oh my, twas one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had! By the way, umm, it’s gluten free and you’d never know it!
And that strawberry buttercream? I’m still swooning.
But, my question! It’s not a Wilton 8B and it’s not an Ateco 869 (which I just tried today), so what brilliant and wonderful Reddit person can tell me what piping tip I must procure to try to recreate this luscious swirl? And thank you!

Looks like C10. Source – I counted the number of edges and found a star tip with the same amount of gaps between the teeth
It’s a very large star tip (it looks like an asterisk) but you can get the same effect by cutting the corner off a plastic ziplock freezer bag with pinking shears.
I’m not sure what types of nozzle you typically use but there is a big difference between using a plastic nozzle and a metal nozzle on the finish product. You will get much more defined edges with a metal one and not just relative to the size.
Also, I’m so glad that it was tasty and I don’t mean to be picky but that buttercream is split or in the process of splitting 🙁
If it’s not a wilton it could be a Loyal closed star 7 or 10
