How To Decorate Cupcakes With Piping Tips

Decorating cupcakes with piping tips is not that hard at all!

If you are completely new to decorating cupcakes, I will show you a couple of must have piping tips/nozzles and how their designs look frosted on a cupcake.

I personally love large decorating tips, definitely prefer them over smaller ones.

Remember: You can never ever have too many decorating tips!

What I usually recommend is to first practice piping on a board first, to get the hang of it.

MOST POPULAR TIPS

Use a pastry bag, fitted with a large round tip to pipe, beginning in the center, swirl the tip and release as you pull up to form a peak and soft top. It depends on what you prefer on “how high” you want to pipe.

A star decorating tip will create an “ice cream” look. Starting in the center, swirl around with even pressure and leave a cute peaky top.

The first time I used this tip I fell in love with it.  It’s an  Ateco tip (no. 848) which creates wonderful swirls!

You can use a different piping technique with Ateco’s 848 tip and create this cute design, same tip, different look:

As you can see in the photo: Depending on how much frosting you pipe and with how much pressure: It changes the look from very bold and thick, to a rather “slimmer” look. Just pipe as you like it best.

Say hello to the Wilton Decorating Drop Flower Tip (1F)

It is pretty cute! When you frost it like I did, it leaves a little hole on the very top. I would suggest to place a cute candy heart etc. on top to hide the hole.

Now here comes a classic! Star tip (Wilton 1M)

You can make a classic swirl or create a beautiful rose on top of your cupcake. I absolutely love those, they look so real and they are so easy to make:

Start in the center and slowly, but with even pressure, move your decorating tip in a circular pattern around your center.

I adore Wilton's B6 Star Tip

Again, you have the option to frost a classic swirl, like I’ve mentioned above (Ateco tip 848) – absolutely cute!

Or just pipe in the center of the cupcake and as you go up, with even pressure, leave a cute peak at the top.

NOTE:

You can create beautiful swirls. if your frosting has the right consistency. Make sure it does not become too soft and runny.

If your frosting is too runny and soft, just add in a little bit more icing sugar and mix again. If it ends up being way too thick, you can add a little milk to it.

Here’s a little overview for you guys, feel free to save it.
