A spoiled succubus is a happy succubus

I bought myself new icing tips. I didn't REALLY need them, but I've wanted new ones for so long that I decided to go for it and buy myself some. And, thank goodness, the ones I wanted were only $3 for a package that included the two I was hoping for and one other. So it might not seem like much, but it's a big deal for me.

Carly had a potluck on Saturday night, but since I was arriving late, I told her I would bring cupcakes for dessert. Besides, let's face it, cupcakes are definitely my strong suit. So of course the first new icing tip got it's first tryout!



I LOVE IT. My previous tips (you know, from the beginner set) are so tiny that it takes forever and I never get the signature puffy icing that cupcakes should have. I mean, they're great, but I don't do writing because I shake too much, and so I only ever really used the one tip. And these just turned out so fantastic! Minus the weird cupcake-cup-peeling-off-the-cupcake thing. That was annoying. Google has suggested to me that maybe it's an airtight container thing (I packed these up right away, normally my cupcakes sit out for a while after baking.


Anyway, I made half of the cupcakes swirly, and by request from Ria, did the "flower" design she likes on the other half. It was so much easier to get the right amount of icing on the cupcakes, and the cupcakes themselves looked so much more professional (minus the darn liner thing, seriously, wth man?).

I've been semi-roped into making cupcakes for my coworkers next weekend. The people I know best are all working with me on Saturday, so it's perfect timing for some cupcakes. :) I'll try another new tip then!
