Instructions

1. Make a batch of our The Best Buttercream Frosting
2. Grab a open star decorating tip - we use the Wilton 1M tip.
3. Slip the frosting tip into the decorating bag.
4. Cut off the tip of the bag. (The opening of the bag should sit below the opening of the frosting tip.)
5. Fold down the top of the decorating bag.
6. Hold bag and start spooning in your frosting.
7. Once filled, unfold the top of the decorating bag and gather the edges together.
8. Push frosting down toward the tip.  Make sure you get out any air pockets.
9. Tie off the end.
10. Place the frosting tip at the outside edge of the cupcake.
11. Move the frosting tip along the outside edge of the cupcake in a counter clockwise motion.
12. Once you make a complete circle start your next circle on top of the one you have already done, making each circle smaller as you go up.
13. End with a small flourish at the top of the cupcake.
