Versatility at its Best
Cupcakes can be elegant, time-consuming, gourmet, and on the expensive side, or they can be whimsical, quick, creative, and fairly inexpensive to create. The best way to add eye-catching interest to cupcakes is to choose cupcake decorations that create dimension. Tiny graham wafer teddy bear cookies can be “dressed” by piping colored frosting “clothes’ on them. The bear cookies can then be placed on top of frosted cupcakes to create a miniature scene.
For simple and quick cupcake decorations, a sprinkle of colored and sweet toppings are all that is needed. Dark green colored sugar sprinkled on cupcakes topped with light green frosting can be served to honor St. Patrick’s Day. By adding a few red candies on top of the same cupcake, you can make it perfect for a Christmas party. One of the best cupcake decoration ideas for a baby shower is to top some cupcakes with pastel pink and others with baby blue colored sugar.
