How do you make pretty cupcakes?

The best is to use pastry bags with a tip, you can decorate and fill Lime Curd Cupcakes a bunch of ways with different tips. If you want a much cheaper way you can just use a pint size freezer bags. Add frosting inside and snip the corner off. Then squeeze out so it comes out pretty so you can decorate it for your occasion.

I mean you can do the same thing to make a cupcake wedding cake really. You know those were there are 24-48 next to each other on a pallet. Spread frosting on top of them all so it looks like a cake. Then decorate as you would like but when served you just pull them apart so no cutting is required!
