recipe is included in the second picture.
thought I’d share my first attempt at decorating cupcakes with a piping bag, as well as share the recipe (and diy piping method) I used because it’s really simple and amazing!
the method for the piping bag I use:
- I use a freezer bag, or any other thick Ziploc bag
- I wrap tape around the corner that I will be cutting from, to help with keeping structure and preventing tearing.
- I folded the corner twice and cut an M shape to make a six point star. For the leaf shape, I cut following the edges of the bag, just a little bit at the corner, to create an inverted V shape with the point outward.
- to assist with keeping the multiple colours all in one place for a duo-tone effect AND to prevent icing from escaping the bag and getting super messy: I place some cling wrap on the counter and put the frosting in small sections in it. If I’m using multiple colours, I placed them next to each other. Then I roll it up into a log, wrapping all the frosting in the cling wrap, and then cover one end completely. Now it should be only uncovered at the short end on one side only. I put the log of frosting into the Ziploc bag before sealing it shut, the opened end of the log facing the open corner that I just created.
