Equipment

•	Mixer with whip attachment – stand is best but hand-held will work as well
•	Small pot
•	Cupcake papers
•	Decorator sugar
•	Pastry bags (found in the Wilton aisle at Wal-Mart – you can use disposable or non-disposable, your choice. They come in 12 inch and 24-inch sizes. For smaller hands, I recommend the 12-inch size)
•	Large star tip pictured at the bottom of this document. It doesn’t have to be Wilton, it can be any brand, just so long as it a large star tip (it will be approx. twice the size of a regular tip.
•	LARGE ROUND TIP – biggest you can find. We will use this for several of the cupcake weeks so it is a worthwhile investment.
•	Scissors
•	Mixing spoons
•	Spatula
•	Measuring cups and spoons
•	2 Cupcake baking pans – standard size
•	Mixing bowls (if not using a stand mixer)
•	Scoop (I will be using one in class and while not absolutely necessary, it will help to make all of the cupcakes uniform in size) The scoop size is about ¼ cup.
