OMG! But how in the world can we make the icing so smooth without showing the cupcakes shape? Putting a lllloooootttt of icing??
Thank you
if tops are relatively flat (can even under fill the liners) then actually very easy to get flat surface.
last one I made, just did two passes w/ the icing tip (second pass at right angles to the first) and then just smoothed.
Only fill your cupcakes so when they bake they are level with the top of the paper liners. You don't really want a dome on them. Other than that, it really isn't any different then icing a cake. I did one in April and thought it would be hard, but it was very easy!! I say Go for it!
Yeah, what Doug said!! I guess I was typing the same time as he was!!
Just remember to seal the cupcakes to the board with icing. And then if you have one use an icer tip (wilton 789). It helps keep the icing more level and its easier to smooth out.
Not really any more icing than you would use on a regular cake. I smooth the icing on cupcake cakes the same way as I do on normal cakes. I use the Viva paper towel/fondant smoother method.
In my pictures I have a few cupcake cakes. The pink My Little Pony cake is one that you do NOT want your cake to look like. I just lined the cupcakes up and when I iced them I got lots of little "pock" marks where HUGE blobs of icing fell into the gaps between the cupcakes. Our resident angel Doug pointed me in the direction of that tutorial he posted for you and I learned I needed to stagger the cupcakes. I tried again and the HB rainbow cake and the wreath were done "correctly".
Cupcake cakes are the BEST for children's birthday parties and for schools! I actually look forward to doing more in the future.
