I'm planning on making these for the 4th (not using a cake mix)

When I've piped icing on in the past it's too much. I'd like the cupcakes to look pretty but not too heavily iced. Any suggestions on what size or type tip to use?http://oneordinaryday.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/celebrating-the-red-white-and-blue-with-cupcakes/

Cyn, they'll be a hit.

use a cream cheese frosting and go easy on the confectioners' sugar. I've used a 4B tip but...

it's just as easy to pack it into a ziploc, zip it shut and cut a corner off. Then you can throw the mess away when you're done.

Or, you could do a whipped cream icing.
