I don't know about you but im torn on how to decorate both cupcakes and cakes. I've been noticing a bit of a switch in trends recently. It always used to be cupcakes were topped with buttercream and cakes were covered in fondant. But I've seen more and more cupcakes decorated with fondant and more cakes decorated just with buttercream. There's a lady who goes by Arti Cakes and all her masterpieces are done in buttercream and I have to say she's a master!
This stems from the old debate that's been raging on since cake decorating started! People are usually in either the buttercream camp or firmly in the fondant camp. Lettering the lush tasting buttercream or the smooth finish and malleability of fondant.
I personally like both and think especially now there's room for both in the cake decorators camp. You only have to search the internet for images to see the possibilities both offer.
Here's some examples

Where do you stand or are you in the middle like me?
