Meet Jennifer Shea, author, business owner and expert baker who can show you how to make the cupcakes of your dreams. First, Jennifer explains why you need to add an oil-based cupcake to your repertoire and then takes you through the steps to make perfect chocolate and red velvet cupcakes.
Creative Additions (24:47)

Flavorful Frostings (18:25)
Cupcake creativity doesn’t need to be limited to what goes inside. Jennifer shows you how a little outside-the-box thinking can go a long way as she introduces a number of flavorful frostings. Start with a traditional Swiss meringue buttercream and stabilized whipped cream, then raid your pantry for delicious flavor alternatives.
Flavorful Fillings (15:01)
A great filling is all about the consistency: Not too thin, not too thick and not too sweet. Watch as Jennifer makes a chocolate ganache before moving on to her all-time favorite: dulce de leche, which she then turns into a delectable German chocolate cake filling.

Now that you know what goes in your cupcake, it’s time to get decorating. Learn how to create beautiful piped flowers, multicolored frosting swirls and even brush embroidery. With Jennifer as a guide, you’ll soon discover that the most complicated looking designs are well within your reach.
