#piping tips

You bet! Great question and I'm sympathetic. Here are a few thoughts and I hope it's helpful:

If it's purely the decorating aspect you wish to work on, then don't bake from scratch. Buy a mix and either make a cake, or cupcakes to start. [About $3 a box]

If you're already a baker and know you could whip out a batch of cupcakes or cake, then by all means go for it. I would do a six inch cake if practicing decor. Cupcakes are an easy practice surface too.

But. If it's just piping technique, you could start there and buy a simple set at a craft store or the grocery store. You can practice piping on a cutting board or even a metal cake tin without making the cake. See what each tip does and play with it.

I use pinterest to save cakes I think are beautiful and then study the decor in the picture. Tumblr is helpful too if you type in cake decorating, buttercream, piping, etc.

Use a homemade buttercream. I don't think store buttercream pipes very nicely. You want to control the butter amount. If it pains you to think of wasting butter for practice, you could just whip up a frosting with Crisco [or the equivalent] and powdered sugar [which, let's be honest, is what most store bought cakes are doing. -___- }

If you don't have a kitchenaid or equivalent, a hand mixer works. The hot tip here is to whip your butter [room temperature] all by itself for about ten minutes BEFORE adding powdered sugar and flavor. It makes it lovely and light. Crisco can just be whipped with powdered sugar immediately.

I practice flowers on parchment paper and then chill them so I can more easily transfer them to the cake or cupcake. Cupcakes can serve as a handy flower piping base as is, but you might want to practice on something else before directly applying the piping to the cupcake.
