It's that time of the year again when holidays come right after the other...its almost September and following that month is October which is Halloween trick or treat time. After this, we soon will be warming up for thanksgiving and before you knew it, it's Christmas time already and the new year will soon be the next celebration. Time really flies so fast especially if you are having fun celebrating these holidays with families and friends. Beneath all these planning and preparing, there is always one thing that's always a treat for kids - cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes of all colors and designs, topped with yummy frosting and sweet sprinkles, kids and adults alike love them. In this article, we will be discussing three different ways on how to design your cupcake to make them an even eye candy. Here are some tips and ideas. 1. Stick to the theme For a super fun and personalized cupcake dessert, try designing your cupcake with frostings and toppings that has to do with the celebration. For example, if its Halloween, go with orange frostings and top it with spooky yet edible toppers in the shape of ghost, or skull. You can either make these toppers by shaping a fondant or buy them. If you don't want to make it spooky, you can go with orange tiny marzipan pumpkins as toppers, just make the frosting white to make sure it will stand out. 2. Make it sweet yet guilt-free If you have families or friends who are conscious of their health, you can try going vegan with your cupcakes. The first time I heard about cupcake being vegan, I thought how could that be possible, no eggs, no dairy, no butter, I bet it does not taste good at all. So I looked up for a recipe online and I found this yummy mango flavored vegan cupcake. I was actually surprised on how delicious and tasty it is. Vegan cupcakes usually go for substitute ingredients to make them moist and fluffy like canola oil, almond milk, coconut milk or soymilk and apple cider vinegar. Try it and adults would appreciate it especially with the fact that they can eat their dessert guilt-free. 3. Simple and classic always win Sometimes, classic and traditional flavors still win over complicated ones. That is because, this is the flavor that everyone usually grows up with so their appeal never fades. If you want no-fuss, worry free baking, go for simple flavors like chocolate and vanilla. Everyone loves these two flavors and you can never go wrong with them. |
