How to make swirled frosting

Here’s a fun way to trick out your cupcakes in colors to match your party theme: swirled frosting! The crafty duo Chica and Jo developed an easy technique to make multicolored icing – it’s perfect for a rainbow party, or you could use fewer colors to suit a simpler color palette. Pretty snazzy, and it still leaves room for cupcake toppers and other fun decorations, too!

Here’s all you need: white decorator’s icing (here’s Chica and Jo’s decorator’s icing recipe), a disposable icing bag, a decorating tip and coupler, a drinking glass, a small paint brush, and paste food coloring.

The technique is super-simple but I promised Chica and Jo I wouldn’t give away all their secrets. ; ) Click on over to Chica and Jo for the full tutorial on how to make rainbow swirl frosting!
