Quick cupcake ideas
Candy cupcakes
Swirl strawberry, lemon or orange frosting on to vanilla cupcakes and sprinkle with some
little soft sweets e.g. Little Jems, Millions, Hundreds and Thousands etc. once the frosting
has started to set.
Ribbons and bows
Tie small ribbons that match your cupcake cases to cocktail sticks and push into each
cupcake.
I love Rosie

whipped egg white and sugar, and place on a vanilla frosted cupcake with a red case.
