Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Cupcakes
- Decorators' crusting buttercream (in white and red)
- Paper towels
- Decorating bags
- Decorating tips (Numbers 2 and 3)
Step1
Frosted cupcakes
Using a spatula, frost the cupcakes with white buttercream. Try to frost them as smoothly as possible.
Step2
Cupcakes smoothed with paper towel
Wait at least 15 to 30 minutes for your buttercream to "crust." It is crusted when it no longer looks wet. Take a paper towel and very gently place it on the cupcake. Smooth it gently with your fingertips, taking care not to make imprints with your fingers.
Step3
Cupcake with start of stitching
Put a Number 3 tip on your decorating bag and fill it with red icing. Pipe loose "half C" shapes on opposite sides on the top of the cupcake to make the stitching.
Step4
Completed baseball cupcake
With a Number 2 tip, pipe the stitching in a "V" shape along the "C." The "V"s should be facing in one direction on one side, and the other direction on the other side.
