Cupcake treats

by Louise 16 Comments

Chrismast candy cane cupcakes

My favorite cupcake combo at the moment is chocolate cupcakes with loads of marshmallow frosting on top. So here are some of my latest cupcake treats. First, cupcakes decorated with candy canes and home colored sprinkles.

Chocolate hi-hat cupcakes

Next we have “Hi-Hats” or should we call them “Low-Hats” πŸ˜‰ I think that the red sparkle gives them a nice Christmas touch. Loads of chocolate and loads of marshmallow frosting can it get any better?

Happy Caking!

Louise

    where did you get the red sparkles?
    I’m used to the edible ‘flake’ style sparkles which aren’t as lovely, shimmery and delicate as the sparkles that look just like arts n crafts-style sparkles.
    PLEASE tell me where you got them!

    I added the red sparkle when the chocolate was still wet. It’s not airbrush.

    How did you get the red sparkles in the frosting?
    Like, did you airbrush it on, or?

    I was thinking of using crushed peppermint. But this was a short cut;-) The red sparkle is from Edable Art, they have some great sparkles.

    Thanks:-)

    You know crushed pieces of peppermint on top of white icing would be stunning. If the cupcake was minty tasting… ooo-la-la!
