Step 1
Bake cupcakes as directed in recipe (or on package). Let cool.
 
Separate icing into three equal parts. Tint one part red and one part blue as desired. Leave the third part white. Set aside.
 
Step 2
 
Slide one of the coupler pieces into a disposable icing bag and nip the tip just above the last thread. Repeat for the remaining two coupler pieces in two separate icing bags. Assemble the three pieces into a circle, add the #1A tip included in the coupler kit and twist the ring to lock into place. See packaging instructions for further detail, if needed.
 
Fill each bag with a color of icing and pipe onto cupcakes. Start from the center, swirl outward and then back in towards the center.
 
Place a flag treat topper pick through the top of the cupcakes.
