Step 2:

I use a star tip to produce
a swirl, but you can
prepare your cupcake
however you prefer.

For this pansy I used a
pink, pink mixed loosely
with fushia and a touch of
sky blue, black (liquirice
with a touch of navy) and
melon yellow. For the
leaf I used a combination
of gooseberry and leaf
green.

Step 5:

Step 6:

Using the 104 rose tip

I repeat this three times
With the thick edge in
contact with the cupcake I
draw the tip round.

Step 1:

Step 3:
In order to get the
varigated look I have
used a mix of the pink
and the pink mix. Note. I
don’t over mix the colours.
I want it to be badly
mixed.

Step 7:

Step 4:
I combine the colours in
the piping bag, again,
not worrying about any
mixing.
