How to pipe a rose swirl on a cupcake

Just a quick video because people have been asking how to do a rose swirl on the top of a cupcake. It's pretty easy. You use the 2D tip and start in the middle. You pipe a little in the middle and then start going towards the outside counter-clockwise. You cut in close on the first circle and then go wider on the second swirl. And that's it! Hope this helped. Sorry about the music in the background, I kind of forgot it was even playing! :-P

@110pwincess WHAT THE HELL! Sorry to say, but you can't spell or punctuate. Your words come out LOP-sided and confusing. I think you need more practice before you comment on this video. LOL

@10fpatel thanks! :-) I used a Wilton 2D tip. It's a large tip that can be found at baking supply stores on found online.

melt chocolate cool to room temperature. Combine sugar and butter in a mixer or with a hand mixer at medium speed. Add vanilla extract and 4 tbsp milk. Then add the cooled chocolate and mix for several minutes until light and fluffy. If it's too runny, add more sugar. Too dry, add more milk. Beat for several mins

@ch0c0latee1 it was a wilton 2D, but can be done with other large tips, such as 2F or 1M

@wilk1979 It was tip 2D, but you can also do it with a 1M, it'll just look a little different.
