Place a couple (or three) different colored frostings in a pastry bag, then pipe out. This creates the multiple color effect you see in grocery store cupcakes. I saw this on Semi Homemade the other day and they turned out really cute.

Choice 1
Frosting infused with delicate, unusual flavors such as champagne, kahlua, Grand Marnier, ginger or mocha.
Choice 2
Make Easy, Flavorful Kool-Aid Frosting
I discovered this unusual use for Kool-Aid powder when I had a can of vanilla frosting one day and a cherry chip cake to frost. I stirred in a package of cherry flavored Kool-Aid and the result was a delicious, creamy topping that everyone loved!
If you need to make a tasty frosting for a gelatin cake, all you need to do is fold in a pack of Kool-Aid into a container of thawed Cool Whip®. If the frosting tastes a little tart, add in sugar, a little at a time until it tastes good to you.
Choice 3
Cinnamon Coffee Frosting...
INGREDIENTS
* 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 pinch salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 3 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1/3 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, mash instant coffee with the back of a spoon until powdery. Stir in cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth, then stir in spice mixture and vanilla. Alternately beat in confectioners' sugar and milk until desired consistency is achieved.

What kind of cupcakes or cakes are you making? Certain frostings only go well with certain types of cake.

when i make lime cupcakes, i make a coconut-lime icing out of storebought vanilla icing, shredded coconut, coconut extract, lime juice, and some other ingredients, then top it with crushed "nilla wafers" and some craft-store-bought mini umbrellas and scrapbooking stuff (paper beach balls and sandals) to make it look like the beach. i dont know what kind of cupcakes and/or cakes you're talking about, but that's a nice one for presentation if that's what you're looking for!

Buy a box of "Dream Whip" whip topping powder and any flavor of instant pudding. The directions should be on the dream whip box.
examples: dream whip & banana cream on a fudge marble cake-- dream whip & chocolate on yellow, strawberry, or chocolate cake
