Wirral Mums Guide - Cupcake Decorating 101 Cupcakes are a lot of fun to decorate because you have so many options. Even in one batch, you can choose to decorate them all the same or make each one completely unique. If you have children, they can get in on the action and they can make their own creations. Just remember, there is no right or wrong when it comes to cake decorating. Even if it doesn’t look totally beautiful, it’s probably going to taste marvellous!
Always Use Cooled Cupcakes Sometimes it’s hard to wait, but make sure your cupcakes are completely cooled before you start decorating them. Otherwise your icing will melt.
How to Fill a Cupcake Make your cupcake treat even more special by filling it. You can fill cupcakes with icing, mousse, chocolate cream and more. You can fill a cupcake by using a decorator bag and a long, round decorating tip. We use a Wilton 230 tip for filling cupcakes.
Simply inject the tip into the cupcake straight in at a 90 degree angle to the cupcake, being careful not to go to deep. Squeeze gently and stop as you start to see the top of the cupcake rise and the tip is near the top. Remove the tip after you’ve stopped apply pressure.
