An easy, pretty idea that doesn’t even really require a recipe. It’s also easy to use for themed parties or showers – just cut out a heart for bridal showers, a duck for baby showers or a turkey for Thanksgiving.
(1) Make cupcakes in cupcake papers – whatever kind you like, though I’ve found chocolate works better.
(2) Make or open some icing – a bright or contrasting color is most effective.
(3) Cut the tops off the cupcakes, so that the top of the cupcake is level with the paper. Using a tiny cookie cutter, punch out your favorite shape in the top that you cut off.
(4) Ice the cupcake, then put the top part that you cut off back on. Save the cut-out shapes – they make cute garnishes!
These were for a bridal shower, hence the pink hearts.
Nice recipe! The cakes are looking so beautiful and delicious!
