Is there a trick to this? Or do you all just toss it on there?

Not unless you want them to look messy, and I avoid messy looking designs. So, if this is what you are thinking of (closest thing that comes to my mind, without showing you a picture of a cake from The Cake Bible):

Then you have to apply them by hand.
