Cupcake decorating?

Question

I need some ideas for Christmas cupcake decorating.
can you help please?

Answer 1

theres a lot of easy tips for xmas.
1. Mix green frostong, Light green, it only requires 4-6 drops of food coloring per qaurt of frosting. So 3 drops for a typical batch for 24 cupcakes.
use a star tip and a cloth or disposable frosting bag, you can find almost anywhere, they sell anything for kitchens. (or you can get the pre-colored frosting, and buy the twist on tips),

You can do one of two things, you can create a mound, on the entire cupcake, smaller towards the outside, and raise. Sort of like a christmas tree.
You can use all sorts of candies or spinkles to decorate the top. Simpe ones like Crushed color life savers, spinkles, even ones shaped like stars. Sometimes grocery stores put out christmas shapped spinkles. You can crush Candy canes, or just use Dots.
and on top, put a yellow star, with frosting, or candy.

Another simple one, is frosting the cupcake white and useing the green frostong to create a wreath. Using Stringy Twislers, and tying them into a bow, and crushing some candy for on top of the cupcake, and just be decorative. I've seen some that did little snow people inside the wreath.

Another great simple and quick one is flat frosting cupcakes, white red, and green, and using the opposing color, to make croses or x's on their cupcakes, as if it were a wrapped present. and you can use again the pully apart stringy twislers to make bow ties.

I've seen some other ones,Frosting Some as presents, and trees, and alternating them on a round raising platter, or having them sit on made brownies. so it's almost pyrimad like.

Or if you make more complex cupcakes, use of the spray gun, can really coem in handy.

I've seen a cute one my mother did, Which she used, white frosting, and mini candy canes, and she frosting each cupcake white, unevenling, and springled, white sugar (confectinary, and regular grad sugur, on top of the already white sugar, and stuck the mini candy caneson angles, so every two cupcakes' candy canes inter crossed, and she did it in a round single around a platter, with a bundt cake in the middle decorated like the north pole. It was really cute, she used chocolate santas, and filled the middle with typcal juujuubees. (spelling?)...

Answer 2

I just made a bunch for Halloween and what I did different was instead of making happy themes, I used black frosting and showed "x"'s for eyes and sad faces. For Christmas I am going to use colored sugar and dip the frosted tops in that,then use silver candied balls to look like ornaments on a tree.
Another thing I've done for a group was to make enough cupcakes to spell out " Happy Anniversary" and the couples' names. Then I displayed it on a table between other desserts being offered...this adds a bit of flair to the decorations. You may want to check out the link to see if they have some different ideas,too. Have fun!

Answer 3

Mix meals dye into vanilla icing to show it orange. After icing the cupcakes, you might use chocolate icing to attract practical jack o lantern faces on best of the cupcakes. I've noticeable tubes of coloured frosting at a number of supermarkets which can be used for drawing functions if you do not possess an icing bag or identical gadget.

Answer 4

Ice all of your cupcakes green, then put them in the shape of a Chrismas tree and then decorate that with icing...like a star on the top one, different colored icing for bulbs..there are tons of different ways to decorate this. I have done this before and it is always a hit.

Answer 5

Get some red, green, and/or white frosting and/or icing. Then make the designs Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Gingerbread men, etc.

You can also get some candies to put on top of the cupcakes.

If you want, and know how to, you can put filling inside the cupcakes.

Have fun, and enjoy!
