This weeks CAKE101 decorating / baking tip is a really striking and surprisingly quick way to frost beautiful swirls of colour onto your cupcakes! You can even use this piping technique to pipe fun coloured roses onto layer cakes or to fill whoopie pies and macarons with. You can even experiment with using three or more colours, create ombré toned stripes or combine multiple flavoured frostings together… yum!

“To swirl your cupcakes with two tone striped buttercream use a tall glass to fill up your piping bag. Fill one side with one colour leaving space on the other side for your next colour! Fill the next side and you’re ready!”
