Fill it the same amount each time, and wipe the bottom on the side of the bowl so it doesn't drip everywhere. Most recipes do best if you fill the liner about two-thirds full. The frosting just gets easier with practice. Pillsbury makes frosting in a cool-whip type can, though, where you just squeeze it out and swirl and they look pretty! And Michaels has very reasonable cake decorating classes - once you learn how to do the frosting for a cake, you can do it on the cupcakes. Sorry this ran so long! good luck!Stephanie @ La Dolce Vitahttp://dreamingladolcevita.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882176416659082850.post-91883276513830928942010-02-02T08:13:25.790-07:002010-02-02T08:13:25.790-07:00Deb, if you email me (link in my sidebar), I'l...Deb, if you email me (link in my sidebar), I'll send you on an icing recipe and some tips.

I certainly hope he is much better by now!<br />Your bean bags are just darling and I looooove the "diary" and adorable pencil holder you made for your niece.

I made <a href="http://3peasinbrooklyn.blogspot.com/2009/02/not-red-velvet-cupcakes.html" rel="nofollow">these cupcakes</a> last Valentine's Day and neither the cupcake or the decoration look nice by themselves...but I loved how they came together. <br /><br />Or sometimes I stick <a href="http://3peasinbrooklyn.blogspot.com/2009/05/party-day.html" rel="nofollow">things</a> in the top...and that works okay too. <br /><br />But a real live pretty cupcake with no disguise?
