Cranberry Spice "Turkey" Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

The frosting on our cupcakes has a certain “style” to it—a perfect little cloud that reaches a pretty peak in the center. It’s just the right amount of frosting—not too much, not too little—and it looks neat and sweet. Everyone is always asking us how to do it. So here, without further ado, is our secret!
Transfer your frosting into a disposable plastic piping bag fitted with a large round metal tip. Be sure to whip up your frosting so it is light and airy. You don’t need to twist the top of your bag—you can just hold it closed with one hand and use your other hand to hold the bag near the bottom and squeeze. Start in the center of the cupcake, applying pressure to the bottom of the bag, and guide the tip around the cupcake in a circular motion, then end in the center with a burst of pressure. Try to move quickly and confidently. If you go too slowly, the frosting may come out uneven.
