How do you ice a cupcake?

Answer 1

There are many ways to ice a cupcake:

with a piping bag + nozzles but if don't have a piping bag or nozzles then you can use a plastic sandwich/ resealable bag, place the icing in one corner and push down the icing into the corner so all the air is out, cut the tip of the corner off and twist the top of the bag and make a swirl.

You could also use a palette knife/ and ordinary dinner knife(if you don't have one but it is best to use a palette knife). get about 1 table spoon of icing on the knife and place in the centre of the cupcake and scrape the icing around the cupcake (it helps if you hold the cupcake in your hand at a 45 degree angle) and spread the icing around the cupcake so it is all covered and even.
Put the icing in a food storage bag and snip the corner. Pipe the icing on the top of the cook cupcake. Alternately, spread the icing on top of the cooled cupcake with a butter knife or small spatula.

Answer 2

If you have a frosting bag, shove your icing into the frosting bag and squeeze it to the bottom. Squeeze the icing on top of the cupcake in a circular motion. If you don't have a frosting bag, then just get a tea spoon out and start rubbing it on in a circular motion :)

Answer 3

It takes around 30 min for the cupcakes to cool completely an do not put them in the fridge to cool them off. Take your time and don't rush or they wont turn out right.

Answer 4

Leave them out on a table for a while.
