A leap of icing faith

My aunt asked me to make cupcakes for my baby cousin's blessing luncheon.  I knew exactly which recipe I wanted to use (remember this post?).  But I decided I really wanted to make CUTE cupcakes.

So I bought a Wilton 2D icing tip, an icing bag, and went to work.  I was terrified but seriously people icing cupcakes like this is a CINCH.  I even have to say it is easier than just smearing the icing on.  So go buy an icing tip for 2 dollars and disposable icing bags for 3 dollars and just do it!

The party was on the 4th of July so I iced the cupcakes in white icing and topped each with red sprinkles and a blueberry.  I was really happy with the way they turned out and I now have the confidence to try more!
