Once you have taken the time to make cupcakes, why not make them extra special and beautiful by decorating them? Learning how to decorate cupcakes is easy and the only limit is your imagination.

To begin, ensure your cupcakes are completely cool. Chill your frosting for about 15 minutes. Once it has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and with your spatula, stir it around the bowl- working out any air, making the frosting smooth. Take a large dollop of frosting and place in the middle of the cupcake then from an angle, press and pull the frosting towards you working your way around the cupcake until it is covered in frosting. There should be a peak remaining in the center of the cupcake. Take your spatula and pat down the frosting in the center of the cupcake and again work your way around it. Once you have made your way around the cupcake, with a circular motion and a flick of the wrist, give your spatula a twirl. This gives the top of the cupcake a little swirl.
