Double the Baking cups

One thing that is often forgotten is that your baking cups or liners can make or break the look that you're looking for. Sometimes with minimal icing combined with interesting Doilies can give life instantly to what you're planning to do.

Bright ones can make it look 100 times tastier. I've seen some that use double liner which makes an interesting layered effect.

Exotic flowers

I think you have to agree that we have too much of the five petals-daisy-like flowers on cupcakes.Why not try something exotic like pretty purple orchids, white frangipani on white icing for a balinese feel and hibiscus for that hawaiian theme.

great ideas. I completely agree with doubling baking cups, it keeps them bright after baking so those pretty cupcake liners still look pretty afterwards :)
