Urgent: How Do I Swirl Together Two Colors Of Buttercream?
Decorating By catlharper Updated 16 Jan 2011 , 4:28am by ninatat
I keep trying to figure out in my head how to load both white and yellow buttercream into one piping bag for cupcakes but it's not coming together for me. I need it today for my son's school bake sale. Anyone help?
thanx SOOO much!

I just take a spoon and put the white on one side of the bag, then flip the bag over (laying on the work surface) and take another spoon and put the yellow on the other side. Once you close the bag, give it a few test squirts to make everything move down and you'll get the desired effect.
I do what diane said, too. Actually did it with 3 colors, just last night. 
Hiya
You can just use a bigger piping bag and try and load each colour onto each side of the bag. Or you can lay each of your buttercream colours onto clingfilm (saran wrap) and roll into loose saugage shapes. Then slide both into your piping bag but not right to the bottom, when you start to squeeze you should get both colours.
Hope that makes sense!!

There's a "sticky" on the top of this forum, and in the Cake Decorating forum for icing plugs:

(you can use the same concept for two colors with two plugs.)
I used two small bags, one white, one yellow, and squeezed both little bags into a large bag that had the tip on it. Then after those two bags were empty I removed them, squeezed the icing in the large bag into the tip and piped a little bit and it worked beautifully! I'll post photos in a bit!
Thank you all very much!
