I want to put two colors of icing on top of a cupcake to look more like a flower. How do you put two colors into the bag? Is there a trick? Or something you can buy?

Thanks for the help.

I used this technique on some cupcakes and it turned out to be really pretty.

Sorry, I mean you make up two of the frosting "plugs" and drop them both in the bag, then you get a two tone swirl. I hope that helps

I'll try that.

Thank you!

One thing I tried, and worked really well, is put both colors side by side in the same plug. Less work, I thought, too. However, when finished, if there is any left over, you're stuck with the colors together. Two plugs allow to still use them separately. So, your choice! =)

Good luck!

To give you a more subtle second color (might be nice on a flower) you can use the method of striping the bag. Before you put in any icing, use a paintbrush to brush a line of icing color (just the icing color only - not mixed with the icing) up the side (or both sides) of your icing bag. Go from the tip all the way up the side - to the top of where the icing will be. Then put in main icing. When you squeeze it out, it will have the second color on the edge. I don't know if I have explained this very well, but it makes a very nice effect.
