How to Ice Cupcakes
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.
- Simply fit a large star-shaped nozzle on your piping bag and fill with icing.
- Starting at the outer edge, gently squeeze the piping bag, allowing the icing decorate the cupcake.
- Keep the nozzle slightly above the surface of the cake and keep going round, moving inwards until you get to the middle.
- 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.
