1M vs 2D - Comparing Piping Tips - Cupcake Piping Tip Techniques Tutorial

Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. If you're new to cake decorating or new to piping cupcakes it can be hard to know which piping tip / nozzle to use to create which swirl. Two of the most popular piping tips are the 1M and the 2D so I thought this week I would compare the two, piping 4 different cupcakes, so you can see the differences and choose which one you prefer for the next time you are looking to pipe some cupcakes.
I also show you how I prepare my piping bag with buttercream and how I pipe each cupcake step by step.
➡In this video I use an American buttercream recipe which you can find here: • The Perfect Buttercrea...
➡Plus you will find my vanilla cupcake recipe here: • How to make Vanilla Cu...

I hope you all enjoy the tutorial. Let me know which one is your favourite, or maybe you have another piping tip you prefer to use instead. I love them both, but I love the ruffles that the 2D piping tip creates on the classic swirl!

[@cuba3377]

Thank you so much! My star nozzle piping technique just took an awesome turn! Thank you!

Hi! In your experience, how many cups of icing do you need for a dozen cupcakes using either 2D or 1M?

[@terryannsweeney4428]

Great tutorial as always! I am a fan of the 2D... just creates beautiful ruffles and flowers! Thank you.

[@lorrainehicks9172]

Great idea for a tutorial I never even thought about the difference in the piping tips but you showed me there is quite a difference and even slowing down the difference that the same piping tip can make thank you for sharing and keep on caking

[@kathysmith7966]

Really helpful for a novice at using piping tips to frost cupcakes. Great demo/comparison with just enough detail-thanks.

[@1313sunnyg]

Seriously in LOVE with your work, I'm a pro now. People are asking me to bake for them. Thank you 😊💓

[@deborahpondermance2795]

Thanks for putting these comparisons all in one video. Very helpful! Thank you 👍

[@donnaz836]

WOW, you have inspired me to have a go at piping my own cupcakes! So many effects with just two piping tips, what a great way for a beginner to start. Have a lovely day. Cheers Donna Z :)

[@meganmassey7980]

This was so helpful! My 2D tip was smashed together and I didn't realize that was the problem I was having until you pointed it out. The comparison was so helpful, too! Thank you!

[@maggiewalshkahlout6364]

Same happened to me 😅

[@jessicaagadjanian1786]

Thanks for the video. You did an amazing job! I love the 2D pipping 🌹 !

[@marygolddl5904]

Thanks for the video, they're both great, but 2d wins for me. 😉

[@Escapeofthebride777]

I just decorated my first cupcakes tonight for the very first time and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t watch your video first!!!! It was so much harder for me than it looks. Maybe my frosting was too thick. Love your video and love your pink cupcakes!!! Just gorgeous!!

[@vickielafittewood9363]

I Loved your explanation of decorations and tips, your easy to understand!!!

[@donnasell3081]

Thanks so much for this perfect video! It is simple enough for a beginner (me) with excellent video footage. It was not too fast and not too slow and contained only what we need to know.

[@grayskies6630]

This was so helpful! Thank you ♥

[@nissaross804]

Your tutorials are the most helpful I’ve seen! You have good angles so that we can see what you are doing. You also do a good job explaining things. You are a good teacher! That is a unique gift!

[@CakesbyLynz]

[@helenprout5946]

Nice simple tutorial showing the differences between two readily available tips. Thanks Lynz.

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Helen, you are so welcome. I just hope it's helpful. Its so hard to know what all the tips look like before you use them, so I thought it would be a helpful guide.

[@debayers4420]

Loved this video. I watched it once to help me decide which tip to use for cupcakes. I chose the 2D. Once I’d bought the tip and baked the cupcakes I watched it again to refresh my memory. It was an excellent demonstration. Thanks so much!

[@juliegunner7206]

I love this comparison of my 2 favourite nozzles 😍 thank you x

[@CakesbyLynz]

You’re welcome 😊 I hope it will be helpful. I had alot of fun piping all these different ones.

[@DragonLady986]

This helped me so much! My favorite is the ruffles ❤

[@lidiamercedesnunezvaladez6399]

Excelente tutoría , rápido , súper explicado , haciendo comparaciones entre las dos boquillas , súper , me encanto , gracias por compartir

[@debjudisch5548]

You're really good! I have been trying SO hard to perfect my rosettes with NO luck. However, with just 7 minutes of your instruction, now I see why! I have never seen a video where someone gave such a good explanation of what tip to use for whatever effect and exactly what speed to pipe at! Wow...thank you SO very much. I'm gonna be watching lots more of your videos, and you just keep on teaching! God bless...

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Deb, I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful and knowing it has helped you is amazing and means so much to me. It is so surprising how the speed that you pipe can change the way a swirl will look. I hope you enjoy the other videos too x x

Totally loved it! Superb and clear explanation in such detail! I loved the 2D one which looked like a rose. Thanks for giving such clear and wonderful comparisions of the two most frequently used nozzles 🙂

[@CakesbyLynz]

Thank you so much, you are so welcome. I am just so glad you enjoyed it. It's always so hard to know which piping tip does which swirl, so I was really hoping people could use this as a guide.
