Squeeze the frosting pouch for 10 seconds to soften (do not microwave pouch).Cut 1/2" tip from corner of frosting pouch. Squeeze about 2 teaspoons frosting on each cupcake; spread.

Notes
TIPS: A few tips that always make cupcake making a bit easier for me. To make all of the cupcakes a uniform size, I always use a stainless steel cookie scoop for both uniformity and less mess. Make sure to let the cupcakes cool completely, otherwise, the frosting may just melt and runoff. I also squeezed all of the frosting into a small bowl and frosted the cupcakes with my angled icing spatula.
