After baking and cooling your cupcakes, pipe on swirls of frosting or slice the tops off and spread frosting before replacing the tops for a slightly different look.

Pipe swirls of frosting onto each cupcake. If you color half of the frosting and leave the other half white, you can create this two-toned effect. Spoon the tinted frosting down one side of the piping bag and the un-tinted frosting down the other side. As the frosting comes from the tip, there will be a soft swirl of color.

I am new to your blog. I am enjoying getting to know you through your posts and reading old posts. I found one today about the adoption of the little boy by your daughter and son-in-law. Our family started fostering a little girl 2 years ago and six months later she was ours. It was a quick adoption because the parental rights had already been terminated. Her capacity to love is amazing and to have her call me mom is so humbling. When she landed here she had already been in six different places. God is good and puts the solitary in families. God bless your day. O/
