Piping canned frosting
I am attempting to make cupcakes for the 4th of July and would rather pipe the frosting on than use a knife.
Has anyone ever piped on canned frosting? Any recommendations?
TIA!!

No real tips...just put the frosting in a piping bag with a fun tip and go crazy. I do find that it uses more frosting, so make sure you have extra.

Canned frosting doesn't really pipe well.
Basic buttercream is so easy to make and will hold its shape on cupcakes etc. It's also tastier

It works fine...it helps if it is a little colder than room temp. so you might want to put it in the fridge for a little bit.

Agreed. The Wilton frosting you buy at Michael's is okay to pipe, but you are better off just making your own. It's actually incredibly easy.
This is a great tutorial/recipe. Whenever I make buttercream it's literally just butter and confectioner's sugar with a little vanilla extract.
