First Cupcake Decorations Memories
Cupcake decorations have come a long way over the years and this lens is dedicated to cupcake decorating for all occasions. Can you smell the baking...mmm?
Butterfly Fairy Cake
My first memories were of a little cake called a fairy cake made by my Mom. It had little 'wings' made from cutting the top of the cake, slicing the cut piece and placing it back on top of some whipped cream to represent wings. It was the butterfly fairy cake.While cupcakes in America are desserts fairy cakes in the UK tend to be a tea treat.

Easter Cupcake Decorating Ideas
* Easter bunny cupcake decoration idea. Ice your cupcake with a pastel shade of pink. With white icing make two cheeks, placing them just below half way. Use a jelly bean for the eyes and nose and small marshmallows cut and shaped for the ears. To make the pink inner ear, dip the cut side of the marshmallow into pink sugar. The final touch is to pipe two or three whiskers from the cheeks.* Easter egg cupcake decoration idea number one. Ice your cupcake with smooth paste such as glace (water) icing and pipe designs or use edible paint. You can also two or three different color icings without actually mixing them but to make a marble effect.
*Easter Egg idea two -- bird's nest of eggs. Ice your cupcakes with chocolate frosting making the edges a little raised. Grate chocolate or sprinkle chocolate hail to represent the bird's nest. In the hollowed centre place mini chocolate eggs or candies that look like eggs.
* Hot cross bun cupcake. This is the simplest of the decorating ideas as all you need do is choose your cupcake icing and pipe a cross on it. To make the cupcake look like a spicy bun with fruit you could add the spices and a small amount of current. Why not use chocolate chips?

Cupcake Decorations for Romance
Something for Valentines Day perhaps?
Try this cupcake decoration idea for the perfect romantic occasion. Let me set the scene... you would like something different to the usual red roses, especially as red roses can be VERY expensive at certain times of the year. Yes, I'm talking of Valentines Day but of course there are other romantic occasions.The answer is to decorate your cupcake with white frosting and add red sugar roses. Now you can arrange these decorated cupcakes in the shape of a heart. Place your gift in the centre of the heart. You may be about to propose so you could place the boxed engagement ring in the centre of your heart shape.
Take this a step further. Depending on your abilities you can pipe your proposal or message on other cupcakes that do not have the red rose on top. Place these in a row above your heart shape.

Christmas Cupcake Gift Idea
Have you been searching for something different to give this Christmas? Something that won't break the Bank: will be treasured for years to come and is individual to the recipient....
Try this idea. No, the cupcakes will not keep for years to come but the rest will.Use Christmas ball decorations for inspiration for your cupcake decorations ideas. Try to recreate the design on the ball. Using glace or Royal icing will give a more shiny finish to your Christmas cupcake decoration. Make a special little cake for each of your guests and give them the matching decoration to keep. If you are inclined you could buy a set of plain round ball Christmas decorations and make your own designs on them once again matching your cupcake.
For more ideas for Christmas cupcakes I recommend visiting decorations for cupcake toppers. Mmmm...Yummy!
