Cupcake Decorating Tips
Creative Cupcake Ideas
Cupcakes are my favorite dessert to make. There are no limits to the types and varieties you can create. From French Vanilla to Citrus flavors, to Veggie ingredients (carrot cake). Then you have fillings to choose from, ganaches, custards and more. There is no end to possibilities for this amazing gourmet dessert.
Cupcakes can be for snacks, parties, baby showers, birthdays, weddings and beyond.
Then when it comes to decorations, it goes even further to the imagination. You can make cupcakes look like a cake. They can look like a flower bouquet. You can decorate with frosting and fondant. Cupcakes come in all sizes from small, medium, large and even mega cupcakes.
You can add decorations on top, make a design inside so when you cut into it you can see it. It is so versatile and fun and tasty. It is the best little dessert you can make.

I’m not much of a baker or a decorator too, but these cupcakes all look scrumptious and pretty. I might have to try these. I especially like the mint chocolate chip ones in the mason jars – what a genius idea!
You had me at key lime…And a key lime CUPCAKE? Yes please!
Oh my goodness those all look amazing! I love the rabbit in the cone, I so need to make these next spring for my kids.
I enjoy a good cupcake especially with tea.
