you need an icing tool you can buy

Answer 2

Yes you will have to use a piping bag with a star tip.  and only homemade icing will do,  look on foodnetwork.com.  Good Luck

Answer 3

You can find decorator bags/tips in chain stores, hobby stores and some grocery markets. Put the frosting in the bag, with the decorator tip on the end. Twist the bag shut at the top ( or frosting will come back out), then starting at the outer edge of the cupcake,squeeze the bag,  go around and around (like if you were making a soft serve cone) then stop squeezing the bag and gently pull away. Good luck!
