Piping frosting onto cupcakes, instead of simply spreading it on, can really change the look of your desserts.
Making neat little swirls creates a pretty and more professional finished look!
I have all the Wilton decorating tips and bags, etc...
...but the easiest way to pipe on frosting is to use a regular plastic bag.
(even a zip lock)
Just scrape the frosting into the bag with a spatula, twist the bag at the top and snip off the corner.
That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just finished having a cupcake. She sliced off the bottom and put it over the nicely decorated icing to make a cupcake sandwich. Said the idea came from Sandra Lee.
ReplyDeleteWe mostly make cakes, but still, the icing in a zip lock can make it fun on a cake, too. Thanks for giving me an idea for our next baking project.
They look absolutely beautiful! I will have to try this next time!
ReplyDeleteCan it really be that easy? My life will never be the same!! xo
ReplyDeletecan we use store bought icing? if so, I'm definitely trying it.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I do it too! They look cute, it's quick and the clean up is easy!

PS and when I want to get fancy I sometime put a frosting tip in the corner of the bag :)
Oh those look so good right now. Very pretty too. I'll have to try that. I use my Pampered Chef tool, but have to clean it up. With a bag you could just toss it.
ReplyDeleteok...now I want a cupcake...yum. Hugs my friend.
ReplyDeleteThose look very yummy!
