Decorating Cupcakes

Panda Cupcakes

You will be amazed how how easy these adorable Panda cupcakes are to create.

All you need are baked cupcakes, Oreo cookies, miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips, chocolate Cheerio cereal, frosting and a small tube of black decorating gel.

Decorating these cupcakes is a lot of fun and they are always a hit at any party, but especially for children's birthday parties.

Horse Cupcakes

The Horse cupcakes are a bit more difficult than the Panda cupcakes above. They require more time and patience, but they are loved just as much, or more than any other cupcake I have ever created.

I highly recommend reading through the instructions before you begin. I have freely shared suggestions that will help making these cupcakes easier.

Before you know it, you will be a Horse cupcake decorating pro!

Christmas Cupcakes

Building these Snowman Cupcakes is almost as much fun as building a real snowman and a whole lot warmer.

After you assemble the basic snowman cupcake, there are tons of ways to decorate and finish your snowman cupcake. They can easily become the most "original" cupcake you will ever create.

When I wrote this article, I used a variety of candy pieces to decorate the face and added a "scarf" to each one. The scarf is great way to hide the neck where the cupcakes are joined.

This cupcake is a crafters dream!

Halloween Cupcakes

Halloween cupcakes are all about having fun with the classic Halloween images like bats, witches and ghosts.

I used tasty Devil's food cupcakes that did not require frosting for many of these cupcakes. With a bit of confectioners sugar, we had awesome decorated Halloween cupcakes.

As you can see in the photo, I did frost a few that I wanted to "sparkle." The instructions for creating all of these cupcakes, including the sparkly ones, are shared here.

Valentines Day Cupcakes

You can probably tell by looking at the photo that these Heart cupcakes for Valentine's Day are very easy to decorate.

After polling my family and friends, it seems everyone had a different favorite cupcake from this group, so perhaps offering a variety of choices at your party would be appreciated.

The important thing is that we show our love on Valentine's Day!

Fall Cupcakes

In our community, many of the schools and churches host a Harvest Festival.

These Fall Cupcakes are very easy to make and are a popular addition to the Cake Walk table of treats.

You can either wrap them separately for more games or give them all together as one prize.

Either way, they make a lovely and tasty treat!
