Seasonal Cupcake Decorating

Cupcakes are so much fun. Here are some ideas for Cupcake decorating:


Seasonal Cupcake decorating ideas


Santa cupcake
Frost cupcake with white frosting. Sprinkle top with red sprinkles or red sugar. Give two M&M eyes or other candy. Make a beard out of mini marshmallows or shredded coconut. This is a fun and easy Santa dessert kids can put together.


Reindeer Cupcake
Frost cupcake with chocolate frosting. Add pretzels for antlers and M&M candies for eyes and nose.


Turkey Cupcake
Use candies, cut fruit leather or sliced cookies and stand them up for feathers. Add eyes and beak.


Cupcake Creations
Just by decorating in different colors and laying cupcakes out a special way you can create masterpieces.


Frost cupcakes in same color. Some examples of these could be placing 4-5 cupcakes in a squiggly line to form a caterpillar. Give the first cupcake eyes and antennas.


Or form cupcakes into a tree shape. Start with one on top and two on the next row, three in next row, etc. (just like you were making a pyramid shape) Frost the top cupcakes green and the bottoms brown for the trunk.


More cupcakes designs could be shaping cupcakes together to form a butterfly, flower, flag, ball. Using the color frosting to match the design. Another popular idea now is to place your cupcakes in a design and frost them all together like they are one big cake. This is often called a pull apart cupcake cake.


Always start with a great cake recipe before the decorating starts. Here is one of our favorites.


Chocolate Zucchini Cupcake recipe
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups flour
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup milk chocolate chips, optional


Prepare muffin cups and preheat oven to 400 degrees. In mixing bowl blend sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs, cocoa, and milk together. Add in cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Blend together. Add in flour, zucchini and chocolate chips until well blended. Pour into muffin cups and bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle of cupcake comes out clean.

Cupcake Items

If you are a fan of cupcakes and you find that you are taking them to parties regularly, you may want to look into buying some standard cupcake items that will help you. These items can help you carry the cupcakes and display the cupcakes in an attractive way. Please read on for more information.


The first item we like to recommend is a box for your cupcakes. This is a special box we are talking about, a clam-shell type box that open with a hinge on the back. It can be made of a plastic material similar to Tupperware. Some of these boxes are made with a little molded form inside that will hold each cupcake individually so that they don't get tossed around and mess up the cute decorations you've done on top of them. Other boxes are made of cardboard, and they often have a folded insert that holds the cupcakes as well. These cardboard boxes are harder to find at a regular store, but you might be able to find them at a store that offers cupcake boxes wholesale.


The other item that we recommend for every cupcake fan is cupcake stands. These are little displays on which you can display your beautiful little creations. They are normally stacked in tiers, so that it creates a little tree like display from your cupcakes. They can be bought in designs that are made of wire or wood or plastic, and the ones that can collapse for easy storage are the most desirable. You can find them at shops like Target or Walmart, or you can find them online at places like Amazon or Pottery Barn or Bed Bath and Beyond. Whichever one you get, if it is very large, you will probably want to consider getting one of the collapsible ones since they can be quite large.

What Are Cupcake Boxes and Why Do I Need Them?

When it comes to making cupcakes, this is what every baker should know: it's not about the perfect recipe or how pretty your cupcakes are, it is whether or not you can get your cupcake creations from point A to point B without them getting crushed. Specifically you need to know how cupcake box is used, and what features you should expect from a cupcake box. After reading this article you should be able to choose the best box to transport your cupcakes.

The first thing you should know is what a cupcake box looks like and is made of. While you can get moulded plastic, dome-like boxes for displaying cupcakes, most typically these boxes are made from cardboard. Even though they look like small versions of a cake box, they are more than just a tiny cake box.

Cupcake boxes have the added feature of an insert in the bottom of the box that is designed to hold your cupcake in place. This prevents the cupcake from moving around inside the box, or tipping over and destroying the fancy icing. The insert has a hole for the cupcake base to sit in and finger 'divots' on either side for you to insert your fingers to pick up the cupcake when you are ready to eat it.

These boxes are designed to make transporting and displaying your tiny, cake creations easy. If you have a bakery then you can have your logo printed on the boxes as a form of advertising. If you are making cupcakes for a party, you can get boxes that have Happy Birthday, or any other greeting printed on them. You can even have them customized for weddings.

Now that you know how useful cupcake boxes can be, the next time you are making a treat to take to the office, or school bake sale, you will know how to transport them without ruining your hard work. Everyone will be impressed with your fancy cupcake transport system!
