I am not sure what tip and technique I should use to frost these cupcakes. I'm attaching a picture (hope it works.. never done it before) PLease help me figure it out. THX!
Any BIG round tip. A 12 probably isn't big enough but I don't remember the #s of the super sized ones. Maybe something like a 1D?
Just start piping at the outer edge and circle into the center - raising up the tip as you go. I'd sure a rather soft b'cream - maybe add cream cheese to soften it?
Looks to me like a pastry tip like the ones at Bake It Pretty:

I would say the details are fondant or gumpaste. You could cut out those eyes and cheeks with the small end of a round tip (I'd have to experiment to get the right size, but maybe start with 3 for the eyes and 5 for the cheeks), and the mouth is just a small ball rolled out into a snake. The cherry, of course, is just a red ball... maybe 1/2 inch in diameter... stuck on top.

You can use a disposable piping bag and just cut the end to the size of hole that you want.
