Ateco 810 - 10 Piece Plain Tube Set 870

Q: What are all the size number? Thanks!

The "Fine Star" set is also called the French Star by Thomas Keller in the Bouchon Bakery Book. These will be sizes 860-869 (860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865, 866, 867, 868, 869). To my knowledge, any time you're looking at the larger Ateco piping tips, this is denoted by the first number (8), the second number being the style (the main is 0 being plain, 2 being open star, 4 being closed star, and 6 being fine star), the third number refers to the size (0 being the smallest, 9 being the largest).

Q: I have the Ateco large and medium coupler rings, but they won't fit the three largest tips of this set. What do I buy to fit them?

Hi. I just use a pastry bag for the really large tips. Cut the tip off a pastry bag and dedicate it to big tips.Just slide the tip into the bag. It should fit very snug. *Note- Nip the very end of the pastry bag! Cut a tiny bit at a time till you get the correct fit. No coupler needed. At specialty stores, you may be able to find a little bigger coupler... but most bakers just slide the tip directly into the bag. I have 3 different sized pastry bags dedicatedto the giant tips. Hope this helps.
