I attempted rainbow frosting using my first set of piping equipment. Problems: my piping bag is made out of a canvas-like material and was rather stiff and difficult to work with. I'm investing in the disposable bags asap. Next problem, I'd have rather used a larger star tip to allow the thickness of the frosting to more resemble what you'd see in a real bakery. I also want a large open tip so the flow is smooth and I can pile it high and pretty on top of the cake, but I don't know how that would work with rainbow frosting. Last problem, I basically just plopped 5 colors of frosting in the piping bag and this is what came out of it. Although it is pretty for my first attempt, next time, I want a more structured rainbow and I think I'll try lining the gels up through the top of the bag, then filling it with white frosting. Here's a picture I found using that technique, and I think it looks nice.
This weekend I'm going to attempt concocting my own cupcake recipies. I hope it turns out like I want!
