Cupcake decoration

The beauty of cupcakes lies on the fact that you can make twenty different types of cupcakes at the same time without putting in all your time and effort in the kitchen. Cupcakes are easy to prepare, yet they are so versatile that you can actually serve them on different occasions in several unique ways. From the usual family gathering to the formal dinner, cupcakes are sure not to disappoint. All you need are a few good cupcake recipes and plenty of creative decoration ideas.

Party Cupcakes for Every Occasion

Making cupcakes that match your party theme is the best way to add your personal touch to the event. If your party celebrates the birthday or the recent success of a member of the family, you can add his favorite object or favorite fruit as a topping.

A son who loves basketball so much would appreciate cupcakes with orange candy balls on it. You can also write letters on each cupcake using icing and then arrange them accordingly to spell the celebrator’s name.

Cupcake toppers like animal-shaped candies, chocolate sprinkles and other sugar shapes can instantly make your cupcake a work of art. Plus, they make the cupcakes even more mouth-watering.

Even more formal social gatherings such as weddings have also adopted the use of cupcakes. A tower filled with cupcakes designed according to the bridal motif has been a favorite choice. Unlike traditional cakes, your guests can appreciate the cake designs better because it is not only a slice of a bigger cake they are getting, but the entire cupcake. You can even use the decorated cupcakes as party favors for your guests.

Before getting to the wedding, a proposal comes first. Any girlfriend will surely find it romantic to find her engagement ring on top of her favorite cupcake. Who could say ‘no’ to such a dreamy proposal, or at least, to such a yummy cupcake?

Healthy Cupcakes for Your Kids

If you are a mom who is working on training your kids to eat healthy without depriving them the joys of eating a good serving of cupcakes, there are several ways you can do to ensure that you achieve this win-win situation.

Almond cupcakes and carrot cupcakes are great-tasting desserts or snacks that your kids can bring to school or eat at home. You may also give your children chocolate-zucchini cupcakes. The chocolate will mask the taste of zucchini, but its nutritional value is kept intact. Your kids will not feel like they are missing out on the cupcake fun as they have their own, too.

If a little swirl of whipped cream can make your kid eat your pumpkin cupcakes, then go ahead and make this trade. You would later realize how agreeing to this deal can help your child appreciate healthier options. This gives him the idea that healthy foods are also delicious.
