Succulents
Mix up some pastel frosting and pipe onto chocolate or vanilla cupcakes for an eye-catching treat that doubles as a table decoration.
Mini Dessert Replicas
Fry up some mini pancakes or waffles to use as stackers on top of any cupcake. Make a maple syrup flavored cake base and drizzle the entire cupcake with syrup or cinnamon sugar! You can apply this idea to any other dessert, like sugar cookies! Just bake mini sugar cookies, stack them on top of the cupcake with a toothpick, and sprinkle colored sugar on the frosting!
Ice Cream Cone-cakes
Stuff a cupcake holder tin with aluminum foil, then insert ice cream cones in the tight foil holders to keep them upright. Fill the cones with cake batter, bake, and decorate with a large star tip to make ice cream cone cupcakes! Whimsical and a great dessert that won’t melt if brought to a neighborhood barbecue.
Sleeping Unicorns
This is the most popular cupcake decoration trend this year! Frost any cupcake with vanilla icing, then draw sleeping eyes/eyelashes, and decorate with a horn topper and ears made from fondant or purchased already made! This is a great design for a kids birthday party.
