make the mixture a bit thicker than a cake mix --check--
when icing do you make the icing runny so you can simply dip cup cake in it pipeing is not my thing

Depends what kind of icing - butter icing you can just use a knife to spread it on. Fondant just roll and cut out with a cutter (put a bit of jam on the cupcake to stick the fondant onto)
Glace icing or royal icing just drip from a spoon and it will spread to the edges.

For quick and easy decorating I just spread mine with buttercream and then dip them into a bowl of sprinkles - this way all the icing is covered too so there's less mess when you wrap them in foil or gladwrap for lunch boxes
