Saturday Morning Cupcakes: The Tip of the Icing

Before we left in June 2010 to come live in Germany I made a few essential purchases. One that only a person in love with baking would. One of the items I purchased was a "starter kit" of decorating tips. The kit includes 26 Wilton decorating tips plus a coupler and one flower nail. This really is a great set if you're starting out into the world of cake decorating. It gives you a variety so you can really experiment.

I love it so much, but I also have a lot of anxiety towards this set. I have probably only used about five or six of the tips because frankly, I did not know what the other tips could do or would look like. I haven't used any of the other ones because I really don't have the time to take each set, hook it up with a pastry bag and make pretty doodles all day. Instead I used my old friend technology! I went to the handy Google machine and what popped up? A perfect guide that had pictures of all the tips and what they look like after being piped. Lifesaver! Now I am no longer plagued with anxiety when trying to decide which tip would work best for my vision and I can also be a little more adventurous with my ideas!
