Want to Add a Little Finesse to your Cupcake Skills?

{By Emily ~ August 21, 2008} 

They say that designing cupcakes have a way of bringing out your inner creativity…. Just kidding, I totally made that up, ;) but after spending a little time at the Wilton Cupcake Website, I would say that is completely possible!

I don’t like to admit it, but every time I have made cupcakes (that I can possibly think of) I have just slopped on the frosting like it was butter on a pancake. Absolutely no finesse involved in my cupcake baking/frosting! Which is why I LOVED this site.

Not only can you buy these prominent cupcake stands for $13, you can also learn how to decorate cupcakes like it’s second nature (and your guests will never know)! Wilton lists food coloring tips, icing recipes, decorating techniques and classes for making cupcakes and cakes. They will teach you the 101 about designing treats for occassions and parties, they explain icing basics, and help you learn to add fillings too!

    I’m there! Thank you! I love everything about cupcakes, but I rarely make it for some strange reason. And my decorating skills are abysmal.

    Oooh I’ll admit that I just slop the icing more. But I’ll have to start swirling. It looks so much more appetizing. Plus, when I do flashcards with my daughter and we get to the yummy looking cupcake she says “mmmmm” so I can’t disappoint her and present her with frumpy looking ones, now can I?

    The wonderful world of cupcakes…thanks! I’ve been coveting that giant cupcake pan for quite awhile.
    A day without a cupcake is like a day with sunshine.
