After that with the help of a paint brush, paint strokes of gel food coloring inside the piping bag and then gently fill it with whipped cream or white frosting. Then comes the fun part where you can create patterns on top of the cupcakes and the color strokes inside the piping bag will do their magic. For details visit chica and jo.
decorator’s icing recipe:
- One 2lb bag of confectioner’s sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1 tsp vanilla
- approx 3/4 cup water
Add sugar, shortening, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer (I absolutely can not live without my KitchenAid
– especially for icing!). Add about 1/2 cup of water and begin mixing on slow speed. Add additional water as needed until the icing is the texture you like. Be careful not to add too much at once! (If you do, just add more sugar). Finding the right texture takes a little practice; too thin and your decorations won’t be firm, but too thick and you won’t be able to squeeze it out of the bag.
