Can anyone tell me how to ice a cupcake so it looks nice and pretty? I know I can start in the middle and kind of spiral around...with a star tip? Are there other methods to give it another look?

thanks!!

I think there is a tip from wilton for cupcakes. I don't remember the # of it. So here's a bump =)

I think it's the 1M tip.

OK...gonna try this again. my first didn't go through. Below is a link to cupcakes I picked out as my favorite. They are not mine, though. They were done by Rhondie and I think they look great! I used them as inspiration for mini cupcakes and they are always a big hit. Thanks rhondie.
