    I don't really know what type of icing to make i am going to using a piping bag and i want the icing to stay in the nice shape (swirls) that the piping bag makes it. Last time i tried my icing look nice when i first did it but by the time i got to the last cake all the others had run and the icing just looked flat!!!!! Does that make sense now sorry

    Thanks everyone Nikki

    Its just pure icing sugar. I tend not to use the icing sugar mix if I can avoid it as it has cornflour and salt in it and you can taste the difference.

    The icing I use for cupcakes is perfect for piping

    Thanks heaps for that.
    I just googled it and guess why last time the icing ran.....
    I used margerine instead of butter
    I was in a hurry and shops were closed lol oh well atleast it was not for a birthday just for the kids he he he
    Well i will use butter this time lol

    Thanks for all your help

    Make sure its unsalted, and at room temperature before you use it. Salted butter just isn't as nice in icing

    Thanks for that recipe. Wow, that one and the Magnolia one are quite similar... And it must make HEAPS of icing
    I suppose I could halve the recipe for my needs - we struggle to get through a dozen cup cakes whenever I make them (even for afternoon teas... Maybe my cupcakes just suck! LOL!)
