Simply use your favorite cupcake recipe, and whip up a batch of your favorite frosting. Save a small portion of the frosting, then color the rest red. Use a large piping tip (I used Ateco 807) to pipe the hat, and a small star tip (Wilton 18) for the final touches.

Hi Sally,
The deep red color is best achieved using Wilton's "no taste" red gel food coloring. Alternately, I've heard that Americolor's Tulip Red Gel color also works well for a deep red. You'll want to avoid using a liquid food coloring, as you'll need to use a large amount, which will lead to the bad taste.
