Hi there!
If you've truly never baked anything before, an easy way to get started with cupcakes is with a box cake mix. Just pick a flavour you like, get the extra ingredients the box says you'll need, and follow the instructions on the box. They try to make it pretty foolproof. And most box cakes include the baking times for cupcakes :)
You could pick up a tin of icing too. I do box cake cupcakes with premade icing sometimes when I want to make something for a potluck but don't have the time or energy to bake from scratch.
Tools you'd need... A mixing bowl, an electric mixer (or a whisk or wooden spoon if you really want to tire your arm out, but I've never made a cake mixing by hand, and I wouldn't recommend making a buttercream type icing without an electric mixer), measuring cups/spoons, a muffin pan, cupcake liners, wooden toothpicks (to check if the cupcakes are done: you poke a toothpick into the middle of one of the cupcakes and if it comes out clean or with little crumbs they're done, if it comes out wet with batter they need more time). For decorating you could keep it simple and just put a bit of food colouring in the icing and frost them with a butter knife. If you want to try piping you could buy a piping bag and some large tips (like these ones) and just play with it.
If you want to dive in to baking from scratch, here's a chocolate cupcake recipe I've used before with success, and a mint icing recipe I quite like. If you don't have an electric mixer you could try looking for a drizzle style icing recipe to try.
Lol I wrote all this out and then when I went looking for the recipes I use, I found this guide on one of the blogs I like... Every recipe I've tried from that blog has been pretty darn good too!
Have fun! :D
i used this set, specifically the 1M tip. it’s hard to tell in this pic but i actually filled the bag half with light pink and half with lavender and swirled it into the flowers. was pretty simply to do with this piping tip!
