Piping a buttercream swirl on a cupcake

I use a loyal number 17 tip to pipe swirls on cupcakes. I also use french buttercream. These cupcakes are not my usual cupcakes. I normally use mudcake cupcake, but these are gluten free sponge type cupcakes. An experimental recipe, which turned out really nice.

Great job! I love that tip too, but I would love it even more if you would share the gluten-free cupcake recipe with me! My sister would love me if I could make her some!

THank you

When you bake the cupcakes put less batter than you usually do in every hole and it will come out flat

@lb4006 make sure you have completely cooled the cupcake

I have a question. I tried to do the classic swirl with mint flavored buttercream on a chocolate cupcake. What's happening?I used a start tip (not sure of the size), but the buttercream just kind of melted together into one big glob. Is my tip too small? I let the cupcakes cool so I know that isn't the problem.
