I'm doing cupcakes for our holiday party at work. I'm wondering what your favorite ways to decorate are. Do you use a frosting bag to apply frosting or a spatula. What gives you the cleanest look?? Would love to know what y'all are going.
P.S. Can't get my signature to work but we are still waiting for our first Granbaby to arrive, then it's off to Colorado. 8 days and counting!!
hmmmm...my favorite....gosh...that would have to be filled with caramel cream and bakeshop icing then dipped in chocolate espresso ganache sprinkled with toasted almonds and drizzled with caramel cream
or after dipping in the chocolate espresso ganache, to sprinkle with mini pastel confetti.
for quickie cupcakes that are more for eating than for show, i like to just frost with a quick swirl of a 1M tip. for a quick fancying that up i spray color and/or add jimmies/sprinkles. you can do dozens in a night that way.
my wife came home one evening and told me, "my class is having a halloween party, will you bake something" i said sure, when? "tomorrow" thus was born my quickie cupcake technique 
48 black & orange color-sprayed cupcakes ready by bedtime.
oh I love cupcakes recently. I decorated about 50 for a fall fest and tried out a bunch of tips. I REALLY loved the effect from the grass tip-I did not pull out much, but short little squeezes. I was using white b/c. People commented on those the most.
Before icing my cupcakes (double swirls with 1M tip), I dip the bottoms in candy melts. That hard little shell is awesome on a cupcake, and these are actually my signature item! On the swirls, I'll add candy melts molded into whatever shape...hearts, doves, lips, whatever fits the occasion. I also added fondant leaves dusted with gold sparkle dust and baby pumpkins for Halloween for an order. Sprinkles and/or sanding dust are also a favorite way to finish my cc's off.
