Two-Tone Trimmed Treats

            My favorite thing about cupcakes is that they are quick and easy to make. However, unlike larger cakes, there is not much room for creative freedom. With that being said, it is important to work with the space that you are given. This morning, I figured I’d share with you my favorite technique for making cupcakes look a little bit more fun; two-tone frosting.

            As I said, cupcakes are quick and easy, and so is this decorating technique. While it may look complicated, as if it would take an hour rather than only five minutes, two-toned frosting is easily doable for even baking beginners.

            All you have to do is take two batches of white frosting, separating them evenly. Color each back a different color of your choosing. When ready to decorate, take an icing bag or icing gun and fill it halfway (vertically) up the side of the bag or gun with frosting color #1. Proceed to do the same with frosting color #2. If doing this correctly, your icing bag or gun should look as if it has been split vertically down the middle. Tie off the bag or cover the gun with the end cap and proceed to frost cupcakes with Wilton tip 1M in a swirling motion. 

             It is, honestly, as simple and easy as that. The receivers of your cupcakes are sure to love this technique and will be begging you for your secret! Two-toned cupcakes add a bit of flare to an otherwise plain and boring dessert. Don’t ever let your cupcakes be dull; with cupcakes, the possibilities are endless.
