I made three types of flower cupcakes and boxed them up in sets of four.
During my 500 Facebook fans giveaway I asked for ideas of what you would like to see tutorials on and decorating cupcakes was one of them. So for those that wanted to see cupcakes being decorated I made a video for you. The techniques are not new but for someone just starting out they may find it helpful. Thanks for watching and to all the mothers out there---Happy Mother's Day!!!

Deletethanks for the amazing tutorial!
ReplyDeletei have a question : can i substitute butter cream with whipped cream?
tc!
Thanks! I would say you can but since whipped cream is so soft it may not hold the shape. You would have to stiffen it up with some powdered sugar. You could always practice on wax paper and then scrape it and put it back in your bowl.
DeleteHey those all flowers are nice dear...
ReplyDeleteThis is a best idea to give as a mothers day sweets gift at this year.

ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial. I didn't have to look very far to find out how you make your cupcakes so beautiful, did I?? Thanks for having such a user friendly blog! You're the best!
ReplyDeleteCan the frosted cupcakes be frozen? I want to make them a bit ahead of time for a party.
