Things You'll Need:
- Cupcakes
- Decorators' crusting buttercream (in white and red)
- Paper towels
- Decorating bags
- Decorating tips (Numbers 2 and 3)
-
Step 1
Frosted cupcakesUsing a spatula, frost the cupcakes with white buttercream. Try to frost them as smoothly as possible.
-
Step 2
Cupcakes smoothed with paper towelWait 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.
-
Step 3
Cupcake with start of stitchingPut 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.
-
Step 4
Completed baseball cupcakeWith 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.
