Cupcakes

Last weekend my best friend had her bachelorette party (yay to the hot stripper!). I offered to make cupcakes instead of a traditional bachelorette party cake (in a shape of you know what - lame&boring!). However in the end I did add some chocolate candy on top of the cupcakes (because the rest of the girls really wanted cupcakes to be more bachelorette party themed and I didn’t want to disappoint them). I made these cranberry cupcakes with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla buttercream. It’s pretty easy, however I did have some trouble with the icing (aka decorating the cupcakes). Lithuania still has no idea what a piping bag (or piping bag tips) is so attaching the buttercream to a cupcake was pretty difficult. I’ve checked every possible store, markets, online shops in Lithuania - no piping bags or tips here. Nada! So if any of you by any chance knows any online shop based in EU (because I hate paying duties and taxes) that sells piping bags and tips (all I need is an open star decorating tip) and does not overcharge for shipping (I mean, £20 shipping price for £2 valued decorating tip is ridiculous) please please please let me know.

Seriously, I beg you, put me out of this misery.
