<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">If you saw last week's post you'll know that Meg and I have been playing around with different piping techniques. Last week we showed the "rose" piping technique. This week I want to show you the 2 colour swirl.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">As you can see in the pic we went with a green and purple 2 colour swirl. We were so thrilled with how these turned out we made a little YouTube tutorial (just for something different). It gives you the basic idea on how to:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #674ea7;">Get the two colours into the piping bag (in a simple way)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #674ea7;">Gives you a look at the piping technique we use</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #674ea7;">Shows you what to do if the colours don't quite go in the piping bag how you want them to</span></li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How to:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Prepare your decorations- this will involve cutting your large marshmallows in half diagonally and putting on your pink sugar for ears, and cutting your regular sized marshmallows in half through the middle for cheeks</li>
<li>Spread your frosting on</li>
<li>Apply your cheeks (you can use the marshmallows or some round piped icing)</li>
<li>Then it is as simple as putting on your eyes, nose, teeth and ears</li>
</ol>
<br />

Recently you may have tuned into 22do's Buttercream frosting tutorial on Youtube. This clip was a short tutorial on how to make really simple but delish buttercream frosting/icing for cupcakes. We gave some hints a tips on how to make your frosting a good consistency for piping (not too runny, not too foamy, nice and firm). Check it out for the recipe:</div>

Today I wanted to share some variations on your basic vanilla buttercream that are really simple but allow you to make a range of flavours and colours without using colouring. So here they are:</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Raspberry</span></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Add about ¼ cup of fresh or frozen (thawed) raspberries. Mush into a sauce before adding and only add a small amount of sauce at a time until the desired colour is reached. If you add too much the frosting may curdle slightly but will still taste yummy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Add ½ crushed packet of your favourite biscuits such as Oreos, Tim Tams or Mint Slice. This makes a very stiff icing that you can dollop onto cupcakes for a nice effect. It is unsuitable or piping. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Add the pulp of 2-3 passionfruit. If your passionfruits are particularly juicy then you may not need all of the milk normally used in butter cream. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">For a simple way to flavour your butter cream frosting you can add 2 tbsp (or more) of your favourite ice cream topping....caramel, chocolate, strawberry, mango- passionfruit and more. The possibilities are endless...well as endless as the supply at your local supermarket that is. Keep in mind you may not require all of the milk usually used to make butter cream icing. </span></span></div>

My obsession at the moment is with mango and passionfruit flavoured buttercream which is made from a mango passionfruit sauce/topping bought from the supermarket. It is amazing, it makes me want to lick the bowl clean.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Oreo frosting is one of our most popular, people cannot get enough of oreo cupcakes, and they look so good with a mini oreo on top. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Try them all, and I'm sure you will all be inspired to invent your own variations using your favourite fruits and flavours. We'd love to hear your suggestions and ideas too, or if you've ever encountered problems using these ingredients. So leave us a comment and we'll get back to you, or give your flavour a try.</div>
