What’s cuter than an iced cupcake? Pretty much nothing, and if you want to learn how to ice a cupcake with a perfect swirl, we can teach you how.

  1. Simply fit a large star-shaped nozzle on your piping bag and fill with icing.
  2. Starting at the outer edge, gently squeeze the piping bag, allowing the icing decorate the cupcake.
  3. Keep the nozzle slightly above the surface of the cake and keep going round, moving inwards until you get to the middle.
  4. Finish by creating a final squeeze in the centre of the cake and then lift off, allowing the ‘tail’ to fall back to create a pretty finish.
Viola! You’ll be a master of decorating cupcakes in no time.
