You’re welcome! So glad they turned out well – and it’s a great idea to cut the recipe down for practice. Thanks for sharing.

I am going to make my own gender reveal cupcakes! I wanted them to look nice. I bought the tip suggested at Walmart, and I got started with my test batch. My measurements for a 1/3 practice batch in case you want to try them too…. I cut the recipe by 3 which was just enough to practice with.

1/3 c shortening
1/3 tsp extract
3-4 tsp water (2 tsp is 1/3 of the recipe, but I needed more water.)
1 tsp meringue powder
1 1/3 c sugar

I used almond extract and butter flavored shortening. I think when I do it again, I will just use vanilla. The almond was overpowering.
The consistency was perfect. My swirl looked awesome. I tried a few. I think I am ready to make my cupcakes! Thanks so much!

I’ve never been exactly sure what the meringue powder does, but that makes sense. I also think some recipes call for egg whites instead, but the meringue powder makes it so you don’t have to refrigerate it.

I honestly think it’s the best frosting out there for decorating – and it tastes good too!

I’ll bet that is the secret ingredient I’ve been missing to add a touch of stiffness to the frosting. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
