sometimes aren't enough. When you want to create cupcakes with style,
texture, visual interest and memorable flavors, here are a few cupcake
decorating ideas that are quick, easy and have great edible appeal.
1. Confetti decorations add a lively look and texture to your cupcakes.
You can stick with traditional rainbow or chocolate sprinkles (aka
"jimmies") but you'll find a growing variety of tiny, adorable confetti
shapes to choose from. While it is sometimes tempting to coat the entire
top of the cupcake in confetti, a nice option is to cover only the sides
of the frosting, allowing the beautiful frosting color to contrast on top.
2. Edible cupcake toppers - Try candies such as a peanut butter cup or
miniature chocolate bar on top of a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter
frosting. How about a chocolate-chip cookie garnishing your
chocolate-chip cupcake with vanilla frosting? Try a few chocolate-covered
coffee beans on your mocha-frosted chocolate cupcake. Branch out!
Non-pareils, candied fruits, m&m's or a single maraschino cherry make for
perfect edible cupcake decorations. For a more sophisticated look, edible
flower blossoms require nothing but placement on top of the cupcake.
Nasturtium blossoms, rose petals, thyme flowers, and violet blossoms all
blend well with sweet cupcake flavors.
3. Candles - A more unusual option is miniature candles that are expressly
designed to sit on top of a frosted cupcake. You'll find traditional
birthday theme candles, and others that are just plain festive, with
stripes and stars that make each cupcake look incredibly special and
unique. These candles are usually no more than 1-inch in diameter and 2
inches high, and far more interesting than traditional birthday candles.
They typically do not require a candle holder, but they do provide a more
finished look.
4. Cupcake Liners - Available in mini or regular cupcake size, cupcake
liners add pizzazz while tying in your party's theme. Cupcake liners come
in sets of 50-100 and sometimes include coordinating decorative toothpicks
to insert into the frosted cupcake as well. They are available in every
theme imaginable including Dora the Explorer, pirates, and solid colors
and patterns. Silver or gold foil liners are often used for more formal
occasions such as weddings.
For any occasion, try these simple-yet-satisfying ideas for cupcakes that
make for both a decadent dessert and tasteful decor.
