Sunday night I made another batch of cupcakes and attempted to decorate them with buttercream. All I wanted to do was a large swirl on the top... but I was very disappointed with my attempt. Remembering my promise to show you my next attempt I took some photos.

After all swirls completed, I spread the swirls out cause I was unhappy with my swirls.
Then piped a mini swirl on top with a purchased flower to hide my untidy swirl ending.
In the end the photos make them look better than I thought they were in real life. Perhaps the cupcakes I see on the internet aren't as perfect as I thought. Or perhaps I'll keep practising...
I think they look pretty good! Certainly good enough to eat ;)
ReplyDeletebut unlike the ones you see in shops I bet they tasted good.
ReplyDeleteMiss 5's choice of colour??
I had a similar decoration at SATC 2 show on Wed- in aid of Op Smile, they put sprinkles on the non swirl bit- mix of pink and silver - very cute !
nothing so fancy here at heathrow, tho' the Jaffa Cakes and Mini cheddars are so very brittish..
