TURN CUPCAKES INTO PARTY CAKES
Here are some quick ideas for decorating cupcakes. Each makes 24 cupcakes.
Merry Santa Cupcakes
Prepare white cake mix (about 18 ounce) following package directions for 24
cupcakes; cool. Frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting. Decorate each cupcake to
look like Santa: For hat, sprinkle top third and halfway down one side with red
sugar crystals. Place chocolate candies on frosting for eyes and nose. Cut 2
mini-marshmallows in half lengthwise, place at edge of red sugar for hat brim.
Place a marshmallow at end of red sugar on side for the hat tassel. For beard,
place about 10 marshmallows over bottom third of frosting.
Christmas Wreaths
Bake any flavor cake mix as cupcakes. Frost with vanilla frosting. Cut a circle
1 inch in diameter smaller than the cupcakes, (probably 1-1/2 inches). Place
frosted cupcake on a square of wax paper, place the small circle in the center
and sprinkle green sugar around the perimeter of the cake, resulting in a green
"wreath." Decorate using red cinnamon candies berries and a tie of red rope
licorice for a bow.
Snowballs, Snowmen
Frost cupcakes with white frosting. Dip tops into a bowl of flaked coconut. For
snowmen, add an eyes, nose and mouth with M&Ms.
