Favorite cupcake frosting techniques

Not only should a cupcake taste good, it should look good, too. Now, I’m not a huge fan of fondant, but there is still a lot you can do with some piping tips, a decorating bag and buttercream. I’ve picked out some of my favorite Youtube videos that show a variety of techniques.

Do you have a favorite piping style not shown here? Let me know!

I have never seen this before and I love, love, love it! It reminds me of a carnation.

I love my 2D tip, which is a closed star.

This is a style I want to get into doing. I love how simple it looks, without delivering too much frosting.

And of course, I have to give some love to the site that turned me on to extra large piping tips, Bake It Pretty!
