Fist of all, patience the red color can be pretty messy. Prepare like 1 teaspoon of black icing or just use a brush to paint the eyes. This is a hug cupcake from wilton pans. After I purchased it I figured out that I can also us half of a ball with a 6" cake. Fist put some icing in the middle to attach the head and the body of the mushroom. Ice only the top level if you are afraid that some of the red ink will mess the white body of the mushroom. Iced the head. if you iced it in pink and then in read will be much easier. But if you get a red can of edible food spray that they sale it in joan, michael and AC moore craft stores it will be much easier. So if using the spray, iced the head in white then covered with the red spray. then carefully ice the body in white. You can always use a basket tip or a round # 10 writing tip but make sure the lines are pretty close and avoid to touch the top of the cake so the red don't touch the tip. Paint brush the eyes or with a knife grab some icing and smooth it carefully. You can always help the icing looking smoother by cleaning it with hot water and passing it fast in the surface of the cake. The white dots where done with shot glasses lol I didn't have on hand any cutters, or do it by eye, then I filled up the circus with a # 5 writting tip or what ever works for you and you can do lines or smooth it up with the knife or spatula.
