Cupcake Madness!

I like cupcakes. Love them, actually. I don't mind that cupcake bakeries are popping up all over. I won't buy them because I can make great ones at home. It's not like going out for pastries that I can't make at home without some difficulty.
So here's what has been making me crazy, and this Family Circle cover has sealed it:
I'm sorry to point this out, but the frosting looks like piles of pastel poo. It is so unappealing to me and I'm amazed that it doesn't bother more people. Here's another one that is even worse:

Seriously? Brown icing piped on with a round pastry tip? Those round tips are nice for a lot of things, but they do not make a pretty swirl of frosting. Star tips please! I refuse to eat a cupcake with what looks like fake doggy poo on it. Call me immature - hey, I have six brothers. Sprinkles do not help, so don't bother. Please, just use a star tip!

Here is a good looking cupcake:

I love these ones - they are adorable.

Stop the madness of the round tip cupcakes!
