One really popular style of cupcake is the rosette, made to look like a pretty rose on the top of your cake. Using the two different tips the 2D is definitely my favourite for this effect. As you pipe the rosette from the middle out, the sides of the swirl slightly bend over and look like there are hidden petals on the inside really giving that rose effect. Video Tutorial – Comparing the 1M to the 2D Using tip 1M (you could alternatively use 2D to get a similar look), pipe a swirl starting in the center of the cupcake and ending on the outer edge. This look is really amazing when you use different colors for each row, especially in an ombrè color scheme. Please Note: Customised or personalised items are excluded from the regulations and cannot be returned. Due to food safety concerns, ready-made cakes are not subject to return unless considered faulty or not fit for purpose. Using tip 4B, pipe a swirl starting on the outer edge and ending in the center. It looks best when you build upon each turn to create a swirly little buttercream mountain.

With this piping tip set, you can step up your cake decorating game with just one squeeze! Experiment with the different patterns to create various flowers, succulents, and more. Hassle-Free Cake Decorating Here’s a little video I whipped up to show you all of the different looks you can create in minutes. Take a look for inspiration, then I’ll show you the step-by-step. One note: I create TWO looks with the Wilton 1M. That’s the tip I use and recommend for two-toned frosting roses, but it’s also the tip I use to create soft-serve looking swirls as shown in the video tutorial above.Having run a series of increasingly successful classes on the art of cake decorating, Wilton began production of their expanding product line in 1959. The 'Tuk-n-Ruffle', their first product, is a lacy, ruffled trim that is put around the base of the cake to make it appear decorated even before icing decorations are added. This attention to making professional looking decorations accessible for everyone remains at the heart of Wilton's ethos, and they have put all their knowledge, passion and ideas into creating a range of products which help novices and master decorators alike. SATISFACTION : We have a 5 Star Google Ranking& over 1,000 happy customers located in over 100 countries around the globe. What Countries Do you ship to? It’s amazing how a simple move of your hand as you pipe can create such different results than a basic swirl.

Just try making them evenly spaced, and you can turn anything into beautiful baskets! 9. Wilton #233 Bake cake. Prepare cake batter following recipe instructions. Bake and cool two cake layers. Level cake layers to 2½ in. high. However, cake decorating is much more than smearing a layer of frosting onto your cakes. Like working on a painting, cake decorating is an art; you can accentuate the aesthetics by using different tools, colours, and techniques. This is my all-time favorite design, and I often use a few different colors with this technique. It never fails to impress. Make various types of leaves by holding this tip at different angles, and find out what works best for you. 7. Wilton #101
