Fun Stuff- Cupcake Decorating!

This weekend I had the opportunity to get into some creative action for my nephew's baptism.  A bunch of people getting together afterwards for Coffee, Tea and treats called for some baked goods. My sister and I decided to get away from a big cake, and make cupcakes as they're easier to feed a crowd.

I got to play with some fun items to create the cupcakes. Wilton Candy Melts (for these I used the plain white melts),  Wilton- Star Mold as well as the Wilton ColorSwirl 3 Color Coupler. I love how they turned out, so cute and fitting for the celebration. I'll admit, I'm already putting together a list of holiday baking ideas(Red, White, and Green cupcakes anyone, perhaps candy bows?!?!).

I hope to expand my collection and see what kind of fun stuff I can come up with when it comes to the candy making. They're just so fun, and pretty easy with the molds.

For the cupcakes,  as mentioned above I used the plain white candy melts, and a star shaped mold. The actual icing, was divided up into 3, and dyed blue, yellow and white.  The only challenging bit was  filling the  3 icing bags without making a mess, and holding  the 3 bags together. Practice makes perfect though, which means time to see what else can be made to test it out.

Stay tuned, anytime something new is tested out I'll be posting about it.
