Having run a series of increasingly successful classes on the art of cake decorating, Wilton began production of their expanding product line in 1959. The 'Tuk-n-Ruffle', their first product, is a lacy, ruffled trim that is put around the base of the cake to make it appear decorated even before icing decorations are added. This attention to making professional looking decorations accessible for everyone remains at the heart of Wilton's ethos, and they have put all their knowledge, passion and ideas into creating a range of products which help novices and master decorators alike. Using a small icing spatula, place a dollop of buttercream on top of the cupcake and work it around until you’ve got an even bulb of buttercream, then use the spatula to create a swirl in the center as you slowly rotate the cupcake. Besides adding colour, a great and simple way to add variety to the look of your cakes is by using different piping tips. Piping tips help to add intricate details to your cakes, and make them uniquely yours.

Wilton #67 Frosting your cakes and cupcakes never fails to make them more appealing. Besides adding another layer of flavour and texture, it also helps to elevate your baked goods’ appearance. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add 4 and 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, the heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes. Taste. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. I always add 1/8 teaspoon. In the tutorial below I pipe 4 buttercream swirls with both the 1M (in the darker pink) and the 2D (in the lighter pink) . They have a similar style but are slightly different. Looking at a very classic swirl the 1M gives the appearance of an ice cream swirl, with straight edges working up to a point, whereas the 2D creates a more soft, ruffled effect. So it just depend on the type of cupcake you are looking to make and which one you prefer.
