Mixing it up with some bows, flowers and hearts – all part of the Hello Kitty theme. The pink is a nice contrast to the chocolate icing. Made by Blue Cupcakes

So much more detail with these 3D Hello Kitty cupcake toppers. I love the little extras of the single flower on each cake and the quilt effect sugapaste cupcake cover. I’m not too sure about the pairs of knickers on each cupcake though. They were made by Ana Fuji

Here is one made with just piping icing, I love the criss-cross technique of the pink icing. Although I haven’t tried this cupcake decorating idea myself, it seems this could be one of the easiest options for making Hello Kitty Cupcakes. Michelle at i heart baking made these ones.

Winter Snowman Cupcakes for Christmas

As if you haven’t planned enough food for Christmas already, you’ve come here to look for Christmas Cupcake Decorating Ideas? Good on you! Every occasion needs cupcakes for that extra sparkle, so take a look at these ideas which are great for beginners through to the more advanced.

Now I’m starting with these decorations by An A for Effort - they may be on cookies, but this design will easily transfer to the top of cupcakes. It should be easy to find the same sweets or similar to make the faces with. This person has used black icing for the eyes, but if you don’t have any, a couple of raisins or currents will do.

Here’s a cute idea for some 3D snowman cupcakes by Martha Stewart. The body is made of marshmallows, the hat a chocolate covered sweet, the eyes are chocolate sprinkles and the nose is cut from a gummy sweet.

I think this little fella is my favourite, the blue sprinkle hat looks great with the piped icing trimming. This cupcake was made by Created by Diane

Here is a cupcake that is using lots of different techniques to make a really yummy looking snowman. With a buttercream body, a marshmallow head and an Oreo hat – there is something for everyone. Created by the Vallee Cake Company.

So if you are more advanced with your sugarcraft, why not try something like this from Chocolate Recipes. The snowflake is made with a sugarcraft cutter, the snowman is made with a lot of patience.

Good luck with your cupcake decorating ideas, and Merry Christmas.

Ghost Cupcakes – Spooky ghouls for Halloween

It’ scary how simple these ghost cupcakes can be. Even young children can help you out in the kitchen with some of these cupcake ideas.

Cupcake KITCHen has a beautifully simple way to make the cupcakes look like ghostly faces. You can use simple royal icing or a vanilla buttercream frosting, before piping these faces on once it’s dry.

Very similar cupcakes are these ghost high hats by Bakingdom. Instructions for these cupcakes have been provided on their website.

A very cute version of these high hat ghosts, is this picture as featured by I AM THE CUPCAKE MONKEY of a little family of ghosts sitting on a cupcake.

With a little rolled icing and some royal icing you can make these flat topped ghost cupcakes. People at your Halloween party will be delighted to find your home made cupcakes underneath. These are by KABOOSE who has also provided a recipe for these cupcakes.

Finally, and my favourite, this cute little fella, perched on a mound of buttercream. Simple but effective. I think I’d also try and slip a marshmallow under his sheet as an added bonus to the cupcake eater. I found the picture of this flying ghost on mulatto diaries.

Vampire Cupcake Ideas, Perfect for Twilight and True Blood Fans – or Halloween!

Do you think you could every happily drink blood? No? How about if it was in cupcake form? I challenge you to not find these bloody creations mouth-watering.

Wet Paint features these blood splashed red velvet cupcakes (the vampire flavour of choice). It’s simple but effective, and the presentation on the plate is genius!

5871750723 c059cecf49 Vampire Cupcake Ideas, Perfect for Twilight and True Blood Fans – or Halloween!

 

A very popular way to decorate a ‘vampire cupcake’ is to have make it look like a vampire bite with blood pouring out. I’ve not seen it done so well as these cupcakes by Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Instead of the classic red velvet, they’ve gone for their own cherry liqueur flavour. If I lived near Rutherford I’d be right down there to buy my own!

5872308964 7a09d79240 Vampire Cupcake Ideas, Perfect for Twilight and True Blood Fans – or Halloween!

 

A variation of this design is one that includes penny sweet fangs dripping with blood, or strawberry sauce. Simply Gluten Free not only created these, but have included a gluten free recipe with instructions for you to try at home.

If you would like the people eating your cakes to feel like vampires themselves, why not fill your cupcakes with a strawberry or cherry filling. Carly put this photo up on her blog Lightning Bug Watch Party. She has included links for recipes and instructions for filling the cupcake.

If you enjoy creating designs with sugarpaste, this is an effective idea in incorporating the fangs again. Baking and Caking on Flickr decorated this red and black wonder.

On a slightly different theme, how about making these vampire bat cupcakes with chocolate wings, as featured on the Ifood Blog.

Fairy Cupcakes That Will Make Your Party Magic

Fairy Cupcakes are not to be confused with fairycakes. These are cupcakes decorated with a fairy theme that will fuel the imagination of the kids eating them. Take a look at what ideas are out there already:

The easiest cupcake design for a fairy party is to make the cupcakes into toadstools, as Speckled Freckle has done on her Fairy Party Ideas blog post.

Toadstool Cupcakes Fairy Cupcakes That Will Make Your Party Magic

 

The iconology of fairies is so well known, that you can make fairy cupcakes without adding an actual fairy at all, like Cupcake Sweeties in New Zealand have done.

Fairies Fairy Cupcakes That Will Make Your Party Magic

 

In adition to the toadstool, Cupcake Woman has added a fairy relaxing against one on her cupcake.

Here is an awesome idea for making cupcakes into actual fairy wands, which I found on Sweets By Dee.

Magical%20Wands Fairy Cupcakes That Will Make Your Party Magic

 

Here Sugarcrushmiami has made a beautifully colourful collection of cakes which feature fairies, wands, toadstools, butterflies, and tulips.

Tinkerbell must be the most famous of the fairies, and here are some Tinkerbell decorations you can try yourself, these are by Karen Tack who has also included instructions for how to make these cupcakes.2 Fairy Cupcakes Large Fairy Cupcakes That Will Make Your Party Magic

 

Patacake Parties has made this cute little collection that would take a little bit of extra time and effort to make, but it would be worth it.

I love it when someone thinks out of the box when decorating for a certain theme, how cute is this “crashed fairy” cupcake!? Made by Socake on Flickr

St George’s Day Cupcakes – Dragon Fighting Patron Saint of England

This year (2011) St George’s Day falls on the day before Easter Sunday. Two great reasons to have a cupcake filled weekend! Luckily for you, the England flag is nice and simple, so lets start with a couple of designs you should be able to try at home quite easily;

Here are some beautiful homemade cupcakes, fitting as many flags possible onto one single cupcake. There come from Cupcake Recipe

5626591439 569ae4b7fe St George’s Day Cupcakes – Dragon Fighting Patron Saint of England

Another way to do that flag which has a more simplistic look, but a little bit more tricky to make it look perfect is this idea from jembogawa on flickr

5627176064 2055a187f0 St George’s Day Cupcakes – Dragon Fighting Patron Saint of England

Another symbol of England is the red English Rose. You can buy pre-made roses from some supermarkets and most cake decorating shops. Adding one to a buttercream mountain is simple but effective, like this one from Great Belfast Food

5626591695 55efc1ee75 St George’s Day Cupcakes – Dragon Fighting Patron Saint of England

It is possible to make the roses by hand with sugrpaste and a simple leaf stamp can make some realistic rose leaves. Cupcake Woman made this one to celebrate England playing in the football world cup.

5626592395 3d6cf7b220 St George’s Day Cupcakes – Dragon Fighting Patron Saint of England

The most famous story of St George was that he slayed a dragon, and with that – why not make your own dragon cupcakes with a mixture of whatever sweets and toys you can get your hands on. An example of this is here on The Cupcake Blog. You’ll notice that this is made out of two cupcakes joined together.

If you feel more comfortable with sugarpaste, try this curled up dragon (or buy it pre-made from this etsy page)
