Let’s Frost Cupcakes! {New Video}
When I first started making cupcakes from scratch, I was terrified of piping bags! They can be so intimidating with all of their fancy tips and plastic or fabric bodies. But one day, I decided to just go for it. I ran out and bought a pack of a dozen metal tips in all shapes and sizes from the baking shop nearby and I practiced on paper plates until I got it just right. And when I felt ready for the real thing, I frosted my first batch of piped frosting cupcakes – they were perfect, and really, it couldn’t have been more easy. I loved being able to make pretty swirls and funky dot designs, and that each cupcake was more or less uniform – it made presentation that much more beautiful. Over the years, I’ve settled on three designs that I love to use. All three can be achieved with round or star tips for more variation. Here’s a little video tutorial I put together to show you how I like to frost my cupcakes. I hope you enjoy!
p.s. my favorite Red Velvet & Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. -xo

I am glad to see this post. I literally just walked in from putting the 40 cupcakes for our party Saturday in the freezer. I can make a cupcake taste great but not always the prettiest. Why did I never think to practice on a plate.
Awesome! I’m glad I could help you out! Paper plates!! Genius, right? :)
You are so creative and fearless! ;-)
