Decorating Cupcakes Can Be Easy & Fun!
Cupcake decorating is HUGE!

Don't you love to look at all the wonderfully decorated cupcakes out there? Some of them are so professional-looking that I never thought I could do anything like that, so my cupcakes were always so plain jane.
I searched and searched for ways to give my cupcakes a little more snap in the "visual" department. And what did my eager fingers find? Oodles and Oodles of baking cups, toppers and sticks to decorate with. Add some sprinkles, M & M's and we've decorated a cupcake! And oh, all the ideas out there!
This was great for me because I'd be all thumbs in the fancy decorating department. =( LOL
What helped me the most was to study that beautiful decorated cupcake & figure out how I could make it myself. So here are some tips & ideas for decorating graduation cupcakes, the easy way!
Super Easy Graduation Cupcake Ideas
Graduation cap cupcakes are so easy to make
What you'll need:
Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Graham Crackers OR
Ghirardelli Chocolate Bars
Fruit Roll-Ups
M & M's or mini M & M's
After baking and frosting your cupcakes, press the Mini Reese's Cups into the frosting of your cupcakes.
Take some graham cracker squares and dip them in melted chocolate and "glue" them to the top of the peanut butter cups with a little bit of frosting. You could also use Ghirardelli chocolate squares if you don't want to use graham crackers.
Make the "tassels" from licorice strips (like Twizzlers) or from fruit leather like Fruit Roll Ups. If you just WANT to use fondant, just cut and roll some thin strips. You can "glue" these onto the top of the graduation hat with a dot of frosting.
Top it off with an M & M or jelly bean in the center of the hat and wallahhh! Graduation Cap Cupcakes.
Now from there, you can use your imagination! Either dip the graham cracker squares into white chocolate candy that you can color with food coloring, or use colored M & M's. This way, you can show school spirit!
