1. Make sure you have all the ingredients. Read the whole list and check off everything carefully. Sometimes a recipe may call for whole milk and you only have skim in the fridge. Using skim can make a big difference in the way the cupcakez taste.
2. Fill your cupcakez with something fun. I like to put a surprise in the middle of my cupcakez; like frosting in a bright green colour or a chocolate fudge that oozes out when you take a bite. That way, you never know what your going to get.
3. Piping tips can be a fun way to get a great look for your frosting. Try out your tip before you use it on a cupcakez, though sometimes it will make a pattern you don't love. My favourite is a star tip.
4. Use real fruit in your cupcakez. My favourites are bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and apple. They can make a plain vanilla cupcakez taste yummy and it's healthier too.
5. Don't pile too much frosting on your cupcakez. I don't like a mountain on mine. I think your should be able to taste both the cake and the frosting, not just the frosting.
6. Don't forget to dress up your cupcakez. I love pretty wrappers, toppers, picks, sprinkles, and coloured sugar. I also love making things out of fondant - it looks so professional.
7. Let your cupcakez cool before you frost them. If you don't, the icing will melt and roll of the cupcakez and you'll have a sticky mess.
8. If you're using a piping bag, fasten the top with a rubber band or a clip. Otherwise the frosting squeezes out the top, and you have to lick it off your hands. (Well, not a bad thing...)
9. Pipe in one smooth circular motion - not little squeezes, which will look uneven. The smoother you go, the more professional your cupcakez will look.
10. Share your cupcakesz It's the best way to get feedback on your recipes and learn what you need to do to improve. Give some cupcakez to your neighbors, your teachers, and your friends, and ask for their critique.
