Basic Decorating Supplies

Holiday baking will begin soon and every cupcake baker needs a few basic decorating supplies. You don't need much to get started.  In fact, I use one or two tips and a pastry bag to decorate most of my cupcakes.  You can go simple or go fancy.  I prefer the simple route unless I am making wedding cupcakes or going all out for a special occasion.
