cupcake making fail! Help!
Yesterday my niece and I made cupcakes pre- DS's bday. Anyway the cupcakes were ok they stuck at the bottome of the liner some...didn't burn them and then the icing was too small. What frosting tips do you use to make them all big and pretty? I need to get this down!
TIA!
Re: cupcake making fail! Help!
Here's an idea of a couple of the frosting tips you can use, with pics of what the result is:

I also like this huge tip from Bake it Pretty
Here is my cupcake link in case you want to try/compare recipes: http://jaimecooks.wordpress.com/category/baking/cupcakes/
When I frost, I do a swirl on the cupcake as a base, and then swirl on top of that to get the higher top. It's all one continuous motion.
This video, sort of, shows what I do, except I do a full base: http://cupcakeaholic.com/how-to-frost-a-cupcake-video-tricks-tips-and-3-easy-designs/fun-cupcake-ideas/18/
