Tip of the Week

I use these cupcakes for birthday sessions, tea party sessions, and just for fun. They are pretty much indestructible so they will be around for awhile. And they were easy to make!

Step 1. Make Royal Icing http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Royal-Icing
Step 2. Divide into several bowls and add food coloring to make different colors.
Step 3. Fill icing bags with decorative tips (or fill ziploc bags and cut off corners)
Step 4. Fill muffin pans with paper cupcake liners.
Step 5. Pipe icing into cupcake liners. Decorate the tops as desired. I used whole nutmeg as decorations for some to look like chocolate chips. Tip - don't use sprinkles! They don't age well.  ;)

Leave the cupcakes on the counter to dry for a day or two. Now, enjoy your cupcakes!
