hi! pls help... i just want to know what tip should i use for the following designs? how do you do the orange swirl? What tip should i use for this kind of design? Could you give an intruction on how to do this? pls help... need to know it badly...
Hhhmm, I'm not an expert or anything, but I do alot of cupcakes. Never used that tip before but it looks like just the plain large open one (no design or anything) Sorry, don't know the number off the top of my head. Hope someone else uses that specific look and can help!
The orange cupcakes are maybe made with a tip 12? The other swirls with a 2D? Not sure, but I've used the 2D for my cupcake swirls of icing.

I'm not a expert by far.When I do my cupcakes I use 1M for the swirl ones and it kinda looks like they used #12 for the yellow ones.maybe use a thin icing.I hope that I helped you alittle bit.
Good Luck!!!

I'll try to explain how I do the orange ones 
. I use a very large, plain round tip - mine is a very old Ateco, but I'm sure that Wilton or Ateco still makes them. The opening of this tip is almost 1/2 inch across. I use a slightly thinned icing - like you would use to frost the sides of a cake. Hold the tip straight up in the center of the cupcake and almost touching the surface of the cupcake. Squeeze very hard and fast, keeping the tip almost touching the cake. The frosting has nowhere to go but out. Make the first "puddle" as big around as you need, stop squeezing and pick up the tip. Do it again, making the second "puddle" smaller than the first. Then do a third and fourth if you want. If you don't thin the frosting a bit, you will end up with a massive amount of frosting on the cupcake, but too soft and it will not hold the shape. Practice on a piece of wax or parchment paper - you can scrape the frosting off and reuse. Clear as mud 
?
^Thank you so much! I will try this right away to see the effect! thanks!!! 
I tried it with tip #12 but failed. i think the opening is too small. 
pls help 
I have a bunch of couplers made by a different company (not Wilton) which have just a round opening, no slot like on the Wilton couplers. I wonder how it would look if you used just the coupler? It is certainly larger than the #12. If you only have Wilton couplers, you could stick a piece of tape across the slot. You could also use a ziplock bag and snip a corner, as large as you want, to make those "puddles"...it's worth a try anyway.
I only have wilton couplers. anyway, i'll try it again... Hope it will work. Thanks! 
Tried 1A tip of wilton... but still i cant make those puddles... how thin should the icing be? im using buttercream dream icing recipe... pls help me.
do you guys think that i did good in making this puddles? thanks!
