I was wondering if anyone knows of a tutorial out there that shows how to do the swirl. I have the 1M tip and I tried doing the swirl but it doesn't quite come out perfect.
Do you cover the whole top with the swirl or do you stay in the centre? My cupcakes are usually bigger that the average I have seen (the top has a wider diameter) is that my problem? Am I trying to cover too big of an area?
The other question i had was about cupcake liners. I need to make cupcakes for a baby shower and I wanted to use the pastel blue and pink liners. However, they don't look blue or pink coming out of the oven. Do you use a specific brand that looks good after it has been baked?
Thank you so much for all your help.

Do you mean your cupcakes are wider than they are tall? Perhaps that's why they look off-proportion to you when you ice them. There isn't a "rule" that says the icing has to go all the way to the edge of the cupcake...maybe try doing a smaller swirl on your wide cupcakes.
As for the liners, you need to look for greaseproof ones - these will keep their colour when baked. I get them from here www.cakecraftworld.co.uk and www.cakeymakey.co.uk, they deliver outside of the UK but I'm not sure they deliver to Canada. But this is the kind to look for, greaseproof.
thank you so much for your reply. You have been very helpfull
