Notes

Buttercream Consistencies: Stiff: Best for dimensional decorations that need to retain their shape when piped. This consistency is generally used for piping upright petals for flowers.Medium: Medium consistency is used for borders such as stars, dots, and shells, as well as other decorations that will remain relatively flat. Thin: If you are making a buttercream intended for writing, use light corn syrup as your liquid. Writing will flow easily and won't break.
Testing if cupcakes are done: It's important to check your cupcakes for doneness at the minimum baking time to avoid over cooking. Test your cupcakes while they're still in the oven by inserting a cake tester or wooden toothpick into the center of a few cupcakes. If it comes out clean (no wet batter), your cupcakes are done.
