Your cake looks terrific!

Just whipped up some of this frosting to go on some cupcakes.  It's in the fridge now and then I am going to attempt to pipe it onto the cupcakes.

OK, here is my attempt at cupcakes....  I made a couple of Maddy's musk stick flowers as well but I think they are a little oversized for the mini-cupcakes (mine aren't as pretty as Maddy's either!).

It's great fun isn't it Vieve, maybe one day with practice we will all end up as good as maddy but in the meantime we are giving it a go and mostly we are doing things we had never tried before so it's a step in the right direction.  I think your cake looks lovely.

Of course it's pretty vieve, you've done a fabulous job  ....and....there's no such thing as "too big" on a cupcake

I love the rainbow cake ( it is one of my favourites) and the cupcake looks delicious.

Hi ladies, Wow, have been admiring all the lovely piping on the cupcakes you've all created and must admit that I'm a little envious.  I invested in a good piping kit last year and after numerous attempts so pipe  rosettes, I've always come unstuck - I'm sure it's do to with the nozzle but just can't seem to find the correct one - my kit states that a certain nozzle does rosettes but it doesn't look like the ones I've seen on U Tube tutorials.  Maybe it's just me  .  Am going to ice my Pop's 90th birthday cake tonight with this frosting so I'm hoping it all goes well!!!

Tan, I am a hopeless decorator but using the Wilton 1M tip will give you a beautiful look and I found it really easy to use.  This one can be hard to find but is worth searching for.  I have heard others say they have decorating kits and don't use them much, buying individual tips seems to be the answer.

[Kimmyh]

JD is right tan it's the Wilton 1M tip you need. Can't go wrong with it, worth searching for.

[Aussie Brenda]

What sort of piping bag do you girls use and how much are they.?

[Kimmyh]

AB I prefer the Wilton disposable 12 inch piping bags. Not sure what I paid for my pack of 12 but it was under $15. Really good because you throw out when done and only need to wash your tip and coupler.
