Video Tutorial

The video tutorial for this kit is divided into six easy-to-follow chapters. Chapters 1–2 cover prep and baking, and Chapters 3–6 focus on frosting and decorating. For best results, let both your kitchen and cupcakes cool before making the buttercream—especially before decorating. Warm conditions can make for a melty buttercream experience. You can even split the project into two sessions or even two days: bake one day, decorate the next for a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
