Today's post pays homage to what might be the coolest tutorial ever on cupcake decorating, found at
Sugar Swings! Serve Some. To some, it may not seem very advanced - but for me,
my mind is blown. I never ever even once thought that it could be so easy to handmake candy toppers for cupcakes, but alas, it is. All you do is place a design outline underneath a piece of parchment paper (nonstick and see-through), and pipe melted Wilson Candy Melts over the design. Pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes so they harden and you're done. They slide off the parchment paper super easy.
With mine, I made Spiderman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman cupcakes. Each one has a candy topper except for the Spiderman ones - those got icing piped directly onto the frosted cupcake. All frosting was white vanilla and dyed to match. I absolutely LOVE the results and this was super easy, quick to make, and opens up all sorts of avenues for future cupcake decorating :)
