Using a pastry bag for the first time!

I finally bought some plastic pastry bags and decided I’d teach myself to use them (also, there’s some tutorials online). I had previously been using this plastic thingy that looks like a wide syringe, but it only holds enough frosting to frost 3 cupcakes and I know you are more in control with a pastry bag and it was time for a change.

I may not be doing it right, but I LOVED it! Not having to reload every couple of cupcakes was so wonderful and I started to get the hang of it while frosting the 48 mini cupcakes.

I used a little star tip and made simple swirls, but now I can’t wait to watch some more how-to videos. Any recommendations?
