Make 'em laugh with a clown cupcake-you can make 'em easy using
Color Mist™. Spatula ice a small mound of Ready-To-Use Decorator Icing
on top. Using tip 21, figure pipe body, legs, and arms. Spray with
Color Mist. Insert a Derby Clown Head and position candy-coated
chocolate feet, hands and buttons.
Make the body: Use tip 21 in upright position and the basic icing
build-up technique to pipe body. Squeeze hard to build up a generous
base, then slowly fill out the body by drawing the tip straight up
until you reach the desired height.
Pipe the legs:
Insert tip 21 into the front base of the body and draw the icing
straight out. You may vary the position of the legs: Draw the legs
straight up at the knee and back down again to the foot, or cross the
legs back down again to the foot (bend the crossing leg at the knee for
a natural look).
Pipe the arms: Insert tip 21 into
the body at the shoulder, then squeeze as you draw the tip straight
down and then across the body.
