I’m back into the land of blogging, after WAY too long of a break. They (who “they” are I have no idea, but lets just go with it) say that having your own business is like having a baby. You have to feed it, love it, encourage it, encourage it, promote it . . . and while all those things are being done, my blog has been NEGLECTED!
Over the last couple of months, some of our encouragement, promotion and love for our business has found us doing Bridal Fairs, craft fairs and Winter Markets! My favourite thing about running this business is getting out and hearing from our fans. It makes the hours and hours of hard work worth it. Here are some of the comments that we get regularly:
“How to you make your cupcakes look so beautiful?”,
“They look like pieces of art!”
. . . and the number one comment I get?
“They look too beautiful to eat!” . . . and my response . . . “Then buy two! One to look at, one to eat!” Duh.
Paul and I put together a number of YouTube videos to teach our readers, customers and watchers exactly how to do it yourself! It must be the teacher in me . . . and the marketer in Paul. Watching others decorate cupcakes on YouTube is exactly how I learned to do this myself . . . a mere 8 months ago (how times flies!). Google searches and blog pictorials were helpful as well. Watching someone else do it and then trying it myself, is definitely my learning style.
The following four videos are going to show you how to do the following things:
How to get the perfect swirl on a cupcake using the 1M tip,
How to pipe hydrangeas as a cupcake topper,
The 1M Open Star Tip (Swirl) is also sold as Tip 2110 from Wilton. Find it here.
How to decorate a cupcake using the 1A round tip:
1A Round Tip. Find it here.
How to use a 2D drop flower tip to create a swirl top to your cupcake

My tips that I use in the video are from Wilton, but you can purchase similar ones from any cake decorating supply store. Hope you find the videos helpful!
