I love your blog too! I've been reading for years to find cool ideas to decorate cupcakes.

Generally I'm a basic decorator - white vanilla frosting and sprinkles, but I did make blue bird in nest cupcake once with toasted coconut, and bluefrosting birds. Very fun and very cute!

I like decorating my cupcakes to look like roses, but have been creating signature looks for each flavor. It's so much fun!

I like piping. Any sort of piping. I'm still learning techniques, but, it seems to be coming along well. So far, my preference for frosting would be vanilla buttercream. Honestly, I haven't found my own personal favorite. But, vanilla buttercream is in the lead so far :) And, it seems to be a favorite among others as well.

My favorite decorating ever was with pink buttercream frosting and pink peep bunnies which I made with my sister for Code Pink!

I love to decorate my cupcakes with kids. LOL, it's not what you're thinking. I just love standing beside my bigger kids (who are almost 6) and seeing what they come up with. If it's edible (and sometimes even if it's not), they love to slap it on.

For my son's birthday party, we bought cupcakes decorated with character rings. All the kids there thought that was the coolest thing. I have to agree. My birthday is coming up soon. If my husband could manage to stick a ring made of something other than plastic on a cupcake (preferably strawberry with white frosting), then that would be my very favorite cupcake decoration of all time. :-)

I like to decorate with cream cheese frosting for red velvet cupcakes, and light butter cream for my strawberry ones. I also like to put colored sugar on top for extra sparkle. I am planning on doing cupcakes for my wedding too.

I'm always experimenting, but I can't go past a huge piped (star tip) swirl of meringue buttercream with something pretty/cute/kitsch on top - always sweet and edible, of course. A lot of my inspiration comes from your amazing blog, so thank you!

Just a little twist for you there.

I am all about sprinkles! I also like topping my cupcakes with candies like Ferrero Roche, Baci, Hershey Kisses, Nuggets, etc.

Prepare for some serious cupcake blasphemy:

I've got a fancy-pants piping bag and nozzles. I've got all the kit a cupcake fanatic is supposed to have.

But do you kowow what I like to use to ice my cupcakes? What gives me the best results time after time?

A zip-lock bag with the corner snipped off.

For real.

And my cupcakes are hella pretty!

Go figure!

Well, I like to impress people a little bit.
I don't like to do extravagent things--I'm not THAT good yet, I'm still a beginner in cake/cupcake decorating. But this is how I like to decorate!
I like to use cute cupcake liner/papers.
I frost swirls with either a 1M or 12 piping tip.
Then, I like to make little fondant/gumpaste toppers--you know, cute things--like roses, rubber duckies, or McDonald's food!

if the cupcakes are just for me, then sweet and simple with a swirled piping on top with buttercream. If it's for others, I like to do cupcakes that fit the theme and any medium is fair game.

always with a flavored buttercream, why use vanilla when you can make white chocolate buttercream? maple buttercream on pumpkin cupcakes!! yumm! any taste that will complement the cupcake flavor but not overpower it is great! always piped on with a neat swirl using fun piping tips!!

I love to find out a persons favorite candy and bake it inside the cupcake and then after frosting the cupcake sprinkle some of the chopped up candy on top.

Found your blog by accident and enjoying the find!

I love cupcakes since it seems we're never able to finish an entire cake before it drys out or worse. We make cupcakes (plain) and freeze them. Then we just mix up a little buttercream frosting and thaw as many cupcakes as we need.

My favorite way to decorate a cupcake is with a swirl of buttercream and a single sugared violet. Mmm! :o)
