Firework frosting
A number 233 piping tip is required to get the firework effect. In addition to fireworks, it’s often seen used for grass (like my Halloween brownie graveyard). You need to purchase 3 along with 3 bags, as you will need to have 3 different piping bags filled with the red, white and blue frosting. The piping starts on the outside of the cupcake with the blue. Then a circle of the white frosting, then finish off in the center with the red frosting. To get the ‘stringy’ look of the firework frosting, pipe slowly and drag the frosting to create the look. You can see it detailed in the video.
