Decorating Pink Princess Cupcakes
The video is particularly aimed at helping mums to involve their kids in the decoration process.

Princess cupcakes are likely to need pink food coloring for at least some of the decoration!
Crown Your Princess Cupcakes
Add beautiful fondant crowns
One simple decoartion for your princess cupcakes is to make top them with a swirl of cream and then crown that with fondant crowns. Rather than buy fondant, you can make your own with this fondant recipe, or maybe try gold fondant. Just roll it out about 1/8" thick and as wide as you wish your crowns to stand. Trim off any excess. Serate one edge by cutting triangles, or use a cake or cookie cutter to get an attractive scallop shape. It is easiest to do a whole line of crowns at once and then cut then into individual crowns.Roll your crowns to complete them. The swirl of cream will hold them in place.
If you don't feel up to making fondant crowns or are too busy , you can buy paper or plastic crowns instead.

On this page you'll find cupcake recipes and loads of tips. Please visit the other pages for help with decorating princess cupcakes or fairy cupcakes.
Please sign the guestbook on the Home page.
Hot Tip - Let Cupcakes Cool
Let your cupcakes cool on a wire rack before you try to decorate them.
Hot Tip - Test if Cooked
To test whether your cupcakes are fully cooked prod one with a toothpick. If this is pushed into the cake it should come out clean when the cupcakes are ready. If there is cake mix stuck to the toothpick, the cupcakes need to bake for a little longer.
Chocolate Cupcakes
Ingredients for
about 30 cupcakes♨ 1¼ cups plain cake flour (not self-rising)
♨ 2¼ cups sugar
♨Â 8 eggs
♨Â 12 ounces (350g) butter
♨ 1½ teapoons baking powder
♨ ¼ teaspoon salt
♨Â 8 ounces (200 grams) 85% cacao (or bittersweet cooking chocolate)
♨ ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Method➀Prepare by pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake tray with cake liners
➁Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain marie - put the bowl over a pan of simmering water
➂Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar and allow to cool
➃Mix the dry ingredients together
➄Slowly mix the eggs into the chocolate then add the flour mixture
➅Scop into the prepared cupcake pan. Don't overfill - 2/3 full is sufficient
➆Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until cooked, rotating once midway. Leave to cool on a wire rack
Gluten Free Cupcakes
If you need to make gluten-free cupcakes, replace the usual flour from your favourite recipe with gluten-free quinoa flour. You might wish to add a small amount xanthan gum (maybe ½ - 1 teaspoon depending on your other quantities).

What Type of Cupcake Pans Do You Prefer?
I like silicone. It's easy to store and easy to clean, but your may prefer traditional metal pans. Which do you prefer? (You don't need to be a member to leave a comment.)
Silicone or Metal Cupcake Pans
Fetching blurbs now... please stand bySilicone
Metal
blanckj says:
I like and own both. The silicone is nice because they just pop out, but they don't clean as easily for me and they tend to spill if I don't grab them right. I've also had the silicone fold and start slipping through the gaps on the wire rack.
Posted June 09, 2011
Gio says:
metal pans are way easier to handle :) the risk of spilling decreases a LOT! and I know it cause I had some bad experiences with silicone cupcake pans :)

Silicone Cupcake Pans
Cupcakes Overflowing?
To stop your cupcakes overflowing the pan and burning you should:
- Only fill the pan 2/3rd full so the cupcakes have space to rise
- Pre-heat your oven to 25 degrees over the cooking temperature. Turn it back down when you put your cakes in the oven.

Cupcake Decorating Tips
Rainbow Cupcakes
Perfect for Magical Fairy Cupcakes
The video demonstrates the method using a box of cake mix but you could adapt your favourite cupcake recipe instead. You might also want to keep these for a special treat as a large amounts of food coloring aren't for the health-conscious.
Rainbow cupcakes work well with a fairy theme but as they are so colorful you might decide that they don't need any decoration at all!
Fill Cupcakes with Butter Cream Icing
Using an icing bag you can push butter cream icing (frosting) into the centre of your cupcakes. Make the whole in the top so that it will be hidden when you frost your cupcakes.
