Fun fact: a cupcake top can double as a turtle shell 🐢🐢🐢 1. Dip the cupcake top into candy melts or chocolate 2. Wait for it to dry and then slice off the top 3. Pipe the head, legs, and tail 4. Place the hard shell top back on! Happy earth day!🌎🐢💚 • • • • #turtle #turtles #turtlecupcakes #earthday #cupcakes #cupcakedecorating
Flat flowers with ✨no✨ piping tips! 🌸🩵 1. Pipe buttercream circles in a flower shape onto parchment 2. Flip the cupcake onto the buttercream. Make sure not to press down too hard - you don’t want to squish the flower! 3. Freeze for 10-15 mins 4. Peel the parchment off 🌸 5. Let the cupcakes come back to room temp before eating 😁🌸🩵 enjoy!
💌 secret love letter! 💌❤️🥰 • Hidden message cake trend, but with a cupcake! 1. I used sugar paper and edible marker for the love note (both from @wiltoncakes) 2. Then placed a strip of food-safe acetate (from amazon) over the note 3. With a large round piping tip, pipe a big dollop of buttercream on top 4. Flip the cupcake upside down and squish it onto parchment paper 5. Put the upside down cupcake in the freezer for 10-ish minutes. 6. Remove from freezer and peel the cupcake off the parchment 7. Finish decorating the envelope with a small round tip (wilton 5) and a heart sprinkle 💌 8. Wait until cupcake and buttercream come back to room temp before peeling the acetate strip off to reveal the hidden message 🥰 #ValentinesDay #cupcake #loveletter #hiddenmessagecake
Earth Day is April 22! 🌏🌍🌎 Currently obsessed with this buttercream “stamp” technique. Here are the steps: • Pipe or pour candy melts (or chocolate) onto parchment paper • Wait for the candy melts to dry before squishing your cupcake/buttercream upside down onto them • Freeze cupcakes upside down for 10-15 mins or until they peel of cleanly • Peel and reveal a perfectly transferred design that is completely flush to the buttercream surface!🤯 So far I had only used this technique with black linework, but now tried with green shapes for the continents and it still works 😁 Lmk if you try it!! Candy melts and heart sprinkles are from @wiltoncakes ❤️ • • • • #earth #earthday #earthcupcakes #cupcakes #buttercream #cupcakedecorating #lindseybakedthis
Strawberry-filled strawberry 🍓♥️ The 🍓 is all buttercream! Once I had the base red shape and leaves, I froze the cupcake, and then used a carving tool to make all the little divots for seeds - def my favorite part ♥️ #strawberry #cupcake
