My Cupcake Toolbox

This is just a quick post about the cupcake "stationary" I use! I read a blog post similar to this one when I started making my cakes and it made everything seem a lot simpler!

First of all: the icing nozzles I use. I use the three bigger plastic ones (left) more often and save the small silver ones (right) for more delicate decoration. I got the big plastic ones from The Happy Cupcake Company (as we all know...it's the best baking place in the whole world, so why go anywhere else?)  The silver ones I bought from Amazon. They can all be bought relatively cheaply but, as a general rule of thumb, the plastic nozzles work better with disposable piping bags!

Next, the piping bags. I buy and use disposable plastic piping bags off Amazon in bulk where a pack of 20 cost £1.15! ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classikool-Branded-Savoy-Disposable-Piping/dp/B004QYHF86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350340012&sr=8-1 )

     This is largely because 1.) I can't be bothered with washing out a re-usable material piping bag...lazy cupcake chef that I am and 2.) because it seems more sanitary - being also the OCD cupcake chef that I am!

I hope you have enjoyed this sneaky peak into my cupcake toolbox - it's among my most treasured possessions! It's always jam packed full of gorgeous cake cases, intricate decorations, nozzles and lots of other fun little things.

     I love to give all my cakes little personalities, so I think to think of this box as a wardrobe, packed full of fun outfits!

I hope you have all found this blog entry useful and not sinfully boring!

Happy Baking,

Enjoy, K x
