Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Buttercream swirl cupcakes
When doing a buttercream swirl on wedding cupcakes, do you flat cover with buttercream first to ensure all the sponge is covered , or just pipe a swirl/rose straight on? I have 120 to do.
Thanks

Hi Sue
I think it’s up to what the client wants. I don’t actually make wedding cupcakes but I’ve seen lots of them at weddings. I found most just have a swirl and then decorated with wedding appropriate dragees. I’ve also seen a lot of cupcakes covered in textured sugarpaste rather than buttercream, like the ones in Paul’s cupcake tutorials. I’m sure other members will share how they do their cupcakes. x
