Take your cupcakes from looking homemade to pro-made by using a zip-top bag to frost cupcakes. Simply place a few large spoonfuls of frosting in a large zip-top bag, press frosting into a corner, and snip about 1/4-inch from the corner. Swirl frosting over cupcakes. Repeat with the remaining frosting.
