One of the aspects of making cakes which i want to venture into, is cake decorating.
I've always known how to decorate my sponge cakes with basic icing..mixing water with icing sugar...but I've never really attempted anything more.
So, I've been wondering around the Internet looking at different baking blogs & websites and it seems that one of the popular things to decorate your cupcakes with is fancy Frosting.
Now, I've come across a few types & ways of making frosting & the first kind I want to try is buttercream frosting.
I have made buttercream before but I've only used it as a filling to a birthday cake, so I am quite excited to use it as a topping as it tastes lovely!
However, to make your frosting look pretty on your cupcakes it also seems that a lot of people use a piping bag to ice their cakes & make lovely looking patterns.
I must admit I am very excited at the prospect of using it!
