So... let's put it this way, it's edible but I'll never get a craving for gumpaste, that's for sure!

I don't know for sure as I've never worked at Sprinkles or Ukrop's but it looks like you would just use a small palette knife to smooth the icing down. Your icing can't be too think or it won't smooth over very well. Try your usual recipe out, and if it doesn't smooth over well, thin out your icing with a bit of water and try again.

I was wondering how you made your icing so perfect? I have experimented with piping the icing on, but it was not a big enough tip. I am most interested in the cupcapes that have what looks to be a thick dollop of icing on top that has smooth edges and a flat top. Sort of like what you see on Sprinkles or Ukrop's cupcakes. Is it just a matter of putting a ton of buttercream on and then smoothing it until it achieves the desired result?
