Ateco

A plain tube extrudes a smooth round line, used for filling, dots and writing. A star tube cuts ridges into the line, producing rosettes, shells and borders that hold their shape as the icing sets.

The Ateco set listed at Hospitality Connect is a 13-piece decorating set covering a spread of common tube profiles. It suits a kitchen assembling its first decorating kit rather than buying each tube separately.

The profile decides the shape of the line and the opening size decides its scale. A larger opening covers more surface in fewer passes but gives less fine detail, so decorators keep several sizes of the same profile.

Piping nozzles shape icing, cream, ganache, meringue and choux paste as it leaves the bag. Bakeries use them for finishing cakes and desserts, filling pastries and portioning batter consistently onto trays.

Yes. Hospitality Connect delivers Ateco piping nozzles and pastry tools Australia-wide from Penrith, New South Wales, and offers trade pricing to bakeries, patisseries and cake decorators.
