Buttercream shells and pearls, often seen on grand-scale wedding cakes, are a fresh way to present a classic motif on a batch of cupcakes. The piped designs are among the easiest to achieve—the pearls are merely dots, while the tip does most of the work in creating the shells—and the small scale of the cupcakes means that even beginning pipers will find them achievable. Even so, you may want to practice making shells on parchment paper before piping onto the frosted cupcakes; any mistakes piped onto the cupcakes can also be gently scraped away before you try again.
