Holding tip 104 vertically with the skinny end pointed upward, pipe a few squiggles in a swirl in the very center on the cupcake. Continue to add ruffley piping in a circular pattern around the center swirl until you reach the edge. Select your desired piping tip from the list above, and have your cake, cupcakes, or other confections cooled and ready. Here are all of my cake recipes and cupcake recipes.

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. This one doesn’t involve a piping tip, but it’s such a classic look that many renowned bakeries still use on the daily. We allow a 14-day period for any unwanted goods to be returned to us in their original condition. This is in line with all domestic web or telesales policies. Ateco 849: Ateco 849 is a wide piping tip. You can make a rose or a soft-serve swirl, just like the Wilton 1M above. (Since this tip is wider, the rose and swirl would be wider/larger. You can see a wider tall swirl using Ateco 849 on these confetti cupcakes and these peanut butter cupcakes.) Or you can create a super easy ruffled look as shown on these pistachio cupcakes. Just press the tip in the center and, using medium pressure, lift up while pushing frosting out. Coral Cake: Starting at bottom, pipe horizontal lines around cake, continuing around cake until sides are covered. Repeat on top of cake, starting and edge and working in spiral towards center.To create delicate ruffles and petals with a defined structure, make sure the wider end is the closest to your cake, and the thinner end faces upwards. 5. Wilton #5 Quantity: This recipe is enough to frost 12-16 cupcakes or a thin layer on a 9×13 inch quarter sheet cake. Follow the ratios written in this white cake for a two layer cake, or for a three layer cake use the ratios in this confetti cake.

This large open star tip can also be used to add “gems"—the tiny star-like shapes that are typically used to pipe out meringue drops and decorate mini cupcakes. 3. Wilton 2D Wilton 1M: Wilton 1M is a classic piping tip and the buttercream rose is a staple decoration. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, pipe a flat swirl. You can see this lovely rose decoration on this 6 inch birthday cake. You can also create two-toned frosting roses. You can also produce a decoration that resembles soft serve ice cream. Start in the center and, using medium pressure, move the tip slowly around, building a tall swirl on top of itself.

Your collection of piping tips will surely expand along the way, but these ten are great to start with! Practice cake decorating using your favourite piping tips, and you’ll be a pro in no time. However, cake decorating is much more than smearing a layer of frosting onto your cakes.

Is a large, round tip for making simple rounded swirls or drop-shaped buttercream on cupcakes. It can also help you to pipe frosting evenly between cake layers. The right piping tips and techniques make all the difference when it comes to creating flawless cupcakes. These are definitely the easiest looks to create, but they’re still some of my go-to’s when it comes to cupcake decorating.Simply pipe, stop squeezing, pull away, and repeat. To give it a more natural look, pipe the grass shape slightly to the sides instead of straight up. 10. Wilton Easy Blooms

If it’s your first time frosting a cake and venturing into the world of piping tips, you might face some difficulty visualising how the frosting will look like just from the shape of the tips itself. 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.

In the tutorial below I pipe 4 buttercream swirls with both the 1M (in the darker pink) and the 2D (in the lighter pink) . They have a similar style but are slightly different. Looking at a very classic swirl the 1M gives the appearance of an ice cream swirl, with straight edges working up to a point, whereas the 2D creates a more soft, ruffled effect. So it just depend on the type of cupcake you are looking to make and which one you prefer.
