Generic Instructions and Hints
* For cupcake designs calling for icing, first make a batch of Ornamental Icing; then use
liquid or paste food coloring as needed.
* Frost cupcake with Vanilla Frosting or as desired.
* Use a metal spatula to spread icing evenly. If it's too thick, add a few drops of warm water.
* If a design calls for piped icing, use a decorating bag with a small writing or star tip.
Don't add water to the icing.
* Use kitchen shears to cut candy pieces (licorice, fruit leathers, etc.) into desired shapes.
