I tried to get fancy and use one of those tips that can pipe frosting in pretty patterns. I generally just slap icing on with a knife. For my first foray into piping, I went with the simplest version available. It was just a plastic tip with a hole, designed to draw a line of frosting into a beautiful swirl. I don’t have piping bags, so I just cut a hole in a plastic baggie. I’m a big fan of the Great British Baking Show. I imagined the possibilities. I had a vision in my head of how my chocolate frosted cupcakes would look. I envisioned presenting these little cakes of perfection to my impressed family.

What I ended up with was a pile of crap. Like, all that was missing was googly eyes and I would have had a decent replication of the poop emoji. (By the way, my partner-in-crime Jeff Dorsey has always mistaken that emoji for a smiling chocolate kiss. I had to enlighten him.)
