How to frost a cupcake


I found this rather cool video on Youtube,  featuring Helen Shroyer of Marmalade Cake Company in Toronto, which gives you hints on how to ice cupcakes in 3 different styles. I was impressed with her suggestion on how to fill an icing bag - something I do need to practice as I'm usually covered in more frosting than the cupcake!

You can see the vid here

Thanks to Helen Shroyer/You Tube for the screen shot of the iced cupcakes - gorgeous aren't they!

  7. Hey Helen thanks for the comment! Since posting this my frosting has gotten much better (I can now do swirls and roses!) so I have to say thank you :)

    And I agree - even if they don't look fab at least they usually taste great!!
