3 Piping Bags
Piping Tip #6B
**To core use the back end of any regular piping tip to core cupcake.
Poke your cupcake and push it all the way down into your cupcake. This will leave the perfect space to fill your cupcakes with confetti**
1 package of edible red, white and blue confetti

Repeat on all cupcakes.
Step 4
Starting with the blue frosting and using piping tip #6B start in the center of the cupcake using medium pressure and squeeze enough to cover top of cupcake.
Repeat for all cupcakes with the blue icing.
White icing is next. Using your piping bag and tip #6B We will apply slightly lighter pressure in the center of the blue until it spreads to match the blue. We are creating a stacked effect.
