Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. Cupcakes are so much fun to make but if you're new to making cupcakes it can be hard to know where to start. I get asked so many questions about my cupcakes so in this weeks video I go through tips and techniques for making and piping the perfect cupcake from start to finish.
Find out about working with your cake mixture, what cases to use, how to stop cupcake cases going greasy, how to stop your cupcake cases peeling away. The best piping nozzle to use if you're a beginner and how to pipe a classic buttercream swirl and rossette on the top of your cupcakes.
I really hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!
