Hi everyone, I am in the UK and am new to cupcakes and this forum.
I have brought a product called SCINTILLOES PIPING SPARKLES, can anyone tell me how to use this please. Do i mix a bit into my buttercream as I would with colourings/flavours? Thank you so much xx
hi there
this product seems quite interesting and i decided to google it as i had not heard of it before. it seems that you use it directly to pipe jewels or sparkly shapes onto the cake.
if you look at the following link, the cake artist pipes it on to the sides of her cake :

good luck

Thanks for your reply, but I cant open the link?
Neat stuff, you'll have to post a pic when you use it. Never seen it here but the website said "To use, make a small indentation in the surface of the cake, spoon the Scintillo's colour into a small piping bag fitted with a small nozzle and pipe as required."
So would you say i could pipe a whole swirl on top of the cupcake or is it just for small piped shapes?
It looks like piping gel with glitter suspended in it. I use a similar product called glitter gel by Bakery Crafts.
I would say no, you cannot mix it with buttercream. It will disappear and/or make the icing look dirty. Plus, you'll lose so many of the precious glitter bits inside the swirl.
If anything, I'd suggest piping a buttercream swirl on your cupcakes. Wait for the bc to crust or refrigerate to firm up the bc, then brush on the sparkles.
hi creamyclaire
sorry for the late response - was away for the weekend,
anyway please go to the 'culpitt' website and look for the bubble cake.
(its actually quite a nice website with a few tutorials)
i don't want to type in the full website address in case it gets blocked again
good luck and please post a pic when you use it
best regards
sulia
