Learn from the expert: Tanya Higson from Cardiff’s very own cupcake emporium, The Cupcake Girl, shows you how to ice a cupcake.
After my previous post about cupcakes, I had a few messages asking me about the best way to ice them for the perfect American-style swirl. In search of that holy grail of toppings, I went along to film Tanya at her coffeehouse, in Cardiff Bay, which is also where she runs The Cupcake Girl.
Tanya says the perfect icing needs to be at room temperature and recommends you take icing out of the fridge around ten minutes before use to ensure the best consistency. Follow her instructions and ice your way to cupcake heaven.

Brilliant video hon! Only thing I did notice is she didn’t show us more than once on the video. But still useful to know how to do that! Wales online eh? Cool. xx

Thanks Lottie. It was actually quite a learning curve…Mike at the Western Mail gave me some great tips on ensuring consistency (i.e don’t get people to mention numbers etc in case you cut it up). Also got to grips with Final Cut Pro which was really useful.
