Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. If you're new to cake decorating or new to piping cupcakes it can be hard to know which piping tip / nozzle to use to create which swirl. Two of the most popular piping tips are the 1M and the 2D so I thought this week I would compare the two, piping 4 different cupcakes, so you can see the differences and choose which one you prefer for the next time you are looking to pipe some cupcakes.
I also show you how I prepare my piping bag with buttercream and how I pipe each cupcake step by step.
➡In this video I use an American buttercream recipe which you can find here: youtu.be/tJ_T9WJEgXg
➡Plus you will find my vanilla cupcake recipe here: youtu.be/otifsKKutLw
