Cupcake Piping Techniques Tutorial #2

[Music] hi guys and welcome back to my kitchen so about a year ago I filmed a video which showed you different piping techniques and the way that I use these two pipe buttercream on two cupcakes now this video has had such dilute feedback and thank you to everyone who has watched it but I thought I would make a second video showing for more of my favorite five negatives so I've got four more here so I'm going to show you how I piped these ones onto my cupcakes okay let's get started okay so before we pipe the cupcakes I've actually got my buttercream here which I have colored in the light blue color and I will put a link in the description below to a video where I show you how i made this buttercream I've got my spatula my piping bag my piping tips which we're going to use today and my cupcakes okay so now I've got the buttercream in there I'm just gonna push that down until it reaches the tip I'm gonna turn the end of the bag just to secure the end so that it's not going to come out and then keep that closed with my right hand there's also the hand that we're going to use to put the pressure and the left hand will describe the buttercream round okay so the first tip that were actually gonna use is the Wilton 2d now this is a large drop flower tip so as you can see all the points come together and it closes up and this is the tip that you'd usually use for buttercream roses now we're going to use it today for creating swirls on the top of the cupcakes and we're actually going to use this one for two different swirls now this world depends on the speed that you go on me so the first one that I'm going to show you is a normal swirl which is quite straight and you'll know what I mean when you see the second one so we're going to go in a circular motion from one point on the cupcake work our way round as we meet that point we're then going to come in slightly and build it up so bring that round and come into the center and pull on now that makes such a pretty swirl you've got a slight to it now the second one we're going to do exactly the same motion but what we really gonna do is do it really slowly now you want to put the pressure on the end of the piping bag and as we go just hold it there squeeze the pressure and just go really slowly around so you're getting a lot more buttercream out bring it round on that second swirl around and run around and then pull up so you actually get this really pretty ruffle effect now if you have a look at the cupcakes together now this was form exactly the same tip but just by going a lot slower you get a lot more ruffles okay so the next parking tip I'm actually gonna use is this one which is called the 195 K and this is a medium closed star tip now as you can see it's got a lot of teeth as you go around but they're slightly bent in okay so for this piping tip what we're gonna do is the same circular motion as before but because of how many teeth this one actually has it's going to create a really pretty swirl which has so many different sides and just creates a different kind of feel to the first ones so to squeeze that out working our way around and pull up so there we go and as you can see it's just a different kind of swirl so it adds a different feel and you get this effect lots of different sides and just a lot of texture to this one okay so the last proper tip that we're going to use is the Wilton 6b now this is an open star tip and it's also known as a French tip now with this tip I'm going to show you instead of doing a swirl this one is going to be kind of a dough on the cupcake so we're going to start with the piping bag directly above the center about half a centimeter to a centimeter above the cupcake and you're just going to apply pressure to the end of the bag which is gonna push the buttercream out and spread it into your dome shape now when it's created the kind of the dome style that you like stop pushing the buttercream before you lift up so we're going to place it there just squeeze that out and when it's at the desired side stop and then just pull that off and then you get this really kind of pretty ruffle dome on top of your cupcake okay so there we have our four different cupcakes so using three different piping tips we've been able to create four very different styles for piping your buttercream onto your cupcakes I really hope you enjoyed this video and if you did them please give it a like and if you'd like to see more of my video tutorials and please go subscribe [Music]
