OK I dont know if this is possible but I thought I might sed if anyone could help out. I am making cupcakes tonight for a football bowl party and I was wondering if there was possibly a way to to swirl to colors of frosting together without them completely mixing into one color?
No, but the trick is to make sure to get BOTH colors all the way down into the coupler or tip at the bottom of the bag.
Start with small amounts and alternate sides until you get up high enough.
Another idea, which ONLY WORKS WITH PARCHMENT BAGS (learned that the hard way ) is to paint stripes inside the bag (again, all the way into the coupler or tip) with your icing colors and then fill the bag with white or another base color. It will come out striped as well!
It's all just like the striped toothpastes, they stay striped until the end as well.
Scroll up to the top of this forum page. The icing plug is your best bet. Just put 2 different colored plugs into your bag. Easy to refill the bag this way without the colors mushing together like you said.

I've seen special bags that have 2 separate sections for this type of design. I think they were at Country Kitchen Sweet Art...the plug method would be cheaper though. I've done the 'stripe' method using disposable bags and it worked out ok.
i have taken gel food coloring and "painted" it into the bag in stripes and then put the frosting in. when i pipied it out, it was striped.
jammjenks, your cupcakes looks perfect!
Well thank you, dear.
I couldnt locate the icing plugs thread, as i have a hard time trying to find anything on here that i search for, so i just did regular cupcakes...

Also for your future refference it's a sticky on forum under 'How do I?'. There are lots of other sticky on the forums which are extermely helpful.
