Cupcake Piping & Decorating

Service Description

Cupcake Piping & Decorating in Swindon Duration: 2 Hours Spaces: Maximum 3 Twelve cupcakes, buttercream you have made yourself, and a full box to take home. You will start by making American buttercream from scratch. It is the quick one, ready in minutes rather than the half hour a Swiss meringue takes, which is why it fits in a two hour class and why it is the one worth having in your back pocket. You will learn what the right consistency looks and feels like, why it goes grainy or too sweet, and how to colour it properly. Then you will core and fill twelve vanilla cupcakes and pipe them, working through a range of nozzles and designs so you leave with a box that looks like a set rather than twelve attempts at the same swirl. With only three places you get proper attention throughout, and it suits complete beginners and improvers equally. What You'll Learn • How to make American buttercream from scratch • What the right consistency looks and feels like, and how to rescue it • How to colour buttercream evenly without it turning bitter • How to core cupcakes correctly • How to fill them neatly • How to prepare and use piping bags and a range of nozzles • How to pipe swirls, roses and decorative designs • How to get neat, consistent finishes across a whole box What's Included • 12 vanilla cupcakes to core, fill and decorate • All the ingredients for your own batch of buttercream • Fillings, colours, tools and equipment • Step by step tuition throughout • A cupcake box to take them home in • My cupcake and buttercream recipes emailed afterwards • Equipment recommendations, and a student discount on future classes Who Is This Class For?

If you would rather learn Swiss meringue buttercream, which is silkier and less sweet, that is covered in my Swiss Meringue Buttercream & Cupcake Class.
