Valentine's Day Cupcakes Tutorial

Only a few more days before the love month starts and of course the day all lovers are waiting for. V-Day!!!

A lot of you will get orders for Valentine's Day themed cupcakes and cakes so here's three designs that can help you deliver on V-Day!

Step one is to frost the top of you cupcake. We don't want a domed top we just want a flat top because this will be our buttercream canvass. Follow the video tutorials

TULIPS

These are easy to make and you can pipe them directly on your cupcake, you don't have to use a flower nail. Use a 102 tip and as you put pressure on the piping bag make an up and down motion to create tulips. You can watch the videos on how to pipe tulips below.

HEART SHAPED ROSES BOUQUET

This design requires the use of a flower nail and a flower lifter (If you don't have a flower lifter you can use a small pair of scissors that have a tapered end. Pipe a few ribbon roses and arrange them on top of your cupcake in a heart shaped fashion. You can watch the videos on how to pipe ribbon roses and how to arrange them on  cupcake.

DROP FLOWERS IN BUNCHES

This is the easiest to do among the V-Day cupcakes. All you need is a drop flower tip which is shaped like a small star with rounded ends. You can watch the videos on how to make this design below.
