I am sorry but I can't find in which lesson the pin wheels decorations are explained.
I have become a big fan of your cupcakes, thank you for sharing very useful tips.

Hi Thank you for your comments, I'm really pleased that you have enjoyed my tutorials. The pinwheel decorations are part of lesson 3.

Thank you so much for such a quick answer. I really don't know how I managed to miss them before (blushing with shame). I have just watched the video and can't wait to have a go this weekend.
You really explain very well. Looking forward to more tutorials.
