Cupcakes were previously baked in small cups, hence the name of these cupcakes. Confectioners often decorate them with cream, glaze or mastic, less often with sprinkles and other decor. We offer several easy and quick options for chocolate cream for decorating cupcakes.

Ganache-based chocolate cream for cupcakes

The chocolate cream for cupcakes is based on the recipe for chocolate ganache. They decorate cupcakes, it fits well under the mastic and is wonderful as a filling.

• 200 g (or 300 g for milk cream);
• 100 g cream with a fat content of more than 33%.

For dark chocolate cream for cupcakes, use dark chocolate in a ratio of 2: 1 to cream, but if you need white (milk) ganache, then take the corresponding light chocolate and cream in a 3: 1 ratio. In hot weather, it is recommended to increase the amount of chocolate used by 0.5-1 part (50-100 g) to maintain a stable consistency.

So, chop the chocolate very finely.

Heat the cream over medium heat, remove from heat, wait 1 minute and add chocolate to the cream. Shake the container with cream a little so that the chocolate is completely immersed in them and let it melt.

Place our container on the smallest light and with a dry whisk, gently stir the resulting mass, trying not to create bubbles, until the last pieces of chocolate have melted.

Without letting the creamy chocolate mass cool, pour it into another container, which you can then put in the microwave. Cover with cling film and let stand overnight on the kitchen counter.

Before using the cream, warm it up a little in the microwave at minimum power.

Cupcakes- sweet and soft cakes decorated with delicate cream. It is the perfect addition to tea or coffee.

I learned how to make DIY vanilla cupcakes at home for a long time. My friend taught me this. I like that the ingredients are the simplest ones, those that are always found in the kitchen or in the nearest store. And the process is quite fast in time.

So that you can also make cupcakes for your family, I will share with you a classic recipe with a photo step by step for making this dessert at home.

• Inventory and kitchen appliances: mixer, deep bowls, cupcake baking dishes (paper or silicone).

How to make cupcakes at home: a step by step recipe

Before making delicious homemade cupcakes, I recommend taking the butter out of the fridge, cutting it into small pieces and leaving it at room temperature for two hours. During this time it warms up and becomes softer.

The largest cupcake was prepared in the city of Washington. He weighed a little over 555 kg. Cream for decoration took 250 kg.

1. First of all, mix the already soft butter, sugar and vanilla sugar in a deep bowl. This is most conveniently done with a mixer, which must be set to high speed.
   
   
2. Then, in the finished fluffy mixture, we introduce two eggs alternately.
   
   
3. In this case, you need to constantly continue to thoroughly beat all the ingredients.
   
   
4. In a separate deep bowl we will mix dry ingredients... Pour flour, baking powder and salt there. Stir so that the ingredients are evenly combined with each other.
   
   
5. Then it will inject dry ingredients into liquid ingredients. Add half of the dry ingredients to the egg-cream mixture and mix well using a mixer set at low speed.
   
6. Next, pour in 50 ml of milk there, knead until smooth.
   
   
7. Pour in the remaining half of the dry ingredients.
   
8. The cupcake dough is ready! It should turn out to be tender, creamy, similar in consistency to thick sour cream.
   
9. For baking, I usually use a metal mold for 12 servings; I additionally place special purchased paper molds in the cells. I also sometimes use small silicone cupcake molds. You can choose the option that is more accessible and convenient for you to use.
10. We put our dough in baking dishes.
11. 
    

    For one cupcake, about one tablespoon of dough is enough. Be guided by the fact that the form should be completed no more than three-quarters. After all, the dough will still rise, and if there is too much of it, then it simply flows out of the molds and the cupcakes will no longer turn out as beautiful and neat as we would like.

12. We put the molds with the dough in the oven for 20 minutes and bake at 170 degrees. After this time has elapsed, check that the baking is done using wooden stick... Pierce the cupcake with it. If the baking is ready, then you will get a dry stick. If there is sticky dough on the skewer, then put the cupcakes in the oven to bake for a few more minutes.
    
13. We take out the finished cupcakes from the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes, and then take them out on a wire rack or other surface and leave them to cool completely.
    

Watch your oven. If the tops of your cupcakes are cracked during baking, lower the baking temperature slightly next time.

We will decorate completely cooled pastries with cream.

How beautiful to arrange and serve cupcakes

Cupcakes differ from regular cakes and muffins in that they are decorated with a cream cap... There are many recipes for such creams, but I will share with you my favorite recipe for a protein-oil cream that keeps its shape perfectly and is great for decorating cupcakes.

1. To prepare the cream, first take the eggs and very carefully separate the whites from the yolks.
   
   
2. Put the proteins in a heatproof bowl, add sugar and place the mixture in a water bath. Make sure that the bowl does not touch the surface of the water. We turn on the stove over medium heat.
   
   
3. We take a mixer and beat the protein mixture at the lowest speed for about 8-10 minutes.
   
   
4. We need to warm up the proteins to a temperature of about 60 degrees. In this case, the sugar should completely dissolve, and the mixture should be whipped until sharp peaks.
   
   

   The mixer beaters and the dishes where we add the ingredients for making the cream must be initially dry and fat-free. Otherwise, our proteins won't break down.

5. Now we remove the protein mixture from the water bath, transfer it to another cold bowl or into the mixer bowl and continue to beat everything thoroughly until the proteins are completely cool.
   
6. Next, we begin to add butter to the proteins. Make sure that the butter is at the same temperature as the proteins themselves. This is necessary so that our cream does not go into lumps and does not exfoliate. Add oil in small portions, literally a teaspoon each. Before adding the next portion, the previous one must fully combine with the cream.
   
   
7. When finished, we introduce vanilla extract into the mixture, or any other flavoring agent. For example, you can add liqueur.
   
   
8. Whisk the cream thoroughly. At the finish, we should get a fluffy, tender, but at the same time quite dense consistency. The cream is ready! If you wish, you can color all or part of the cream with any gel dye to make your cupcakes even more beautiful and add original notes.
   
   
9. We put the cream in a pastry bag, since it will be more convenient to decorate our cupcakes with a special nozzle. I usually use the open star attachment.
   
   
   
   
10. Additionally, you can decorate the cupcakes to your taste. Place a few berries on top: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, currants, etc. You can also sprinkle the cream with chocolate or coconut, or even chopped nuts.
    
    

Use only fresh ingredients for making cupcakes. Flour should be of the highest quality.

If the dough can still be kneaded by hand, then it is unrealistic to prepare a high-quality stable cream without a mixer, so make sure that such a miracle of technology is at your fingertips.

When preparing the cream, follow the indicated temperature guidelines. If you think that you can make a mistake in determining the temperature "by eye", and you often plan to cook cupcakes and other pastries, get yourself a special kitchen thermometer, which will become your loyal and reliable assistant in the kitchen for a long time.

In America, cupcake lovers in 2012 opened an ATM, or, as it was called, a "cupcake machine", where they could buy these delicious pastries at any time of the day.

Video recipe for making cupcakes

I recommend watching this video recipe for making vanilla cupcakes. The consistency of the dough at all stages of cooking is clearly demonstrated here, which will greatly help the hostess, who for the first time decided to cook such a dessert. Also in the video is an interesting form of decorating cupcakes. Part of the cream turns pink and part remains white. As a result, in an uncomplicated way, you can get two-tone hats on your cupcakes, which looks incredibly beautiful and original.

Invitation to discussion and possible improvements

I hope you can easily and with pleasure prepare cupcakes at home using this recipe and please yourself and your loved ones with such a delicacy. Tell us, what other recipes for cupcake dough do you know? What cream do you like most to decorate your baked goods?

Delicious cup-sized cakes are rapidly gaining popularity. Many housewives could not resist and tried to cook this miracle at home, and I am no exception. And I was pleasantly surprised! I have tried many recipes and experimented with decorating a lot. Now it is one of my family's favorite sweets. In this article I will tell you how and how to beautifully decorate cupcakes at home with your own hands, you will see photos of some of them in this article in order to personally appreciate all their charm.

In general, the essence of making these cakes is to create an outwardly attractive hat on a biscuit basis, and then spice it up with something tasty and effectively serve.

Thanks to superb talent from all over the world, there are now a myriad of ways to decorate cupcakes. The appearance of the product depends only on the flight of your thoughts and the gastronomic preferences of the family. And to make it easier for you to make your choice, I will give examples here, which I myself often prepare. You should definitely like some of them.

Summer cakes

The decoration of cupcakes, the photos of which you will find below, are so nice that they are very diverse. For the warm season, the decor of fruits and berries is perfect. Place your favorite berries or fruit slices on top. For the best effect, I recommend using food coloring for the base to match the decorations used.

For example, blueberry muffins are very tasty. Spread on the biscuit, setting it purple, purple or blue, and place three to five berries on top. If you lay cream waves in the form of roses or curls, and decorate each of their "top" with one berry, it will look very elegant. You can also add chopped fruits or juices to the mousse itself, then the taste will become even brighter.

Making cupcakes with cream

There are many recipes for this decoration. The main condition for a successful high-quality decor, regardless of the recipe, is the presence of a pastry bag with various attachments to create interesting curls.

You can add extra zest by sprinkling the base with sweets, cookies, waffles. They can be crumbled or laid in their entirety as long as they are small and nicely shaped.

If you mix several dyes and spread everything in creative combinations over the surface, you can get a real psychedelic. This is how you can create rainbows or other colorful patterns.

In addition to the "classics", alternatives are quite applicable: pour hot chocolate (which is especially good for biscuits, the dough of which includes cocoa), and lush cream.

How to decorate cupcakes for the holidays

On the eve of celebrations and celebrations, in a special way, I really want to create something unusual, unforgettable, setting the tone for the whole celebration.

If you are celebrating Halloween, then there is a great excuse for you to diversify your culinary delights and show your talent. But sweets are the most important attribute of this day. It seems to me that small cakes decorated with various figures will be just fine, in addition, children will love them madly. Making muffin pieces is good with mastic.

It will be interesting to embody the main theme for such a holiday. For example, the living dead cupcakes will be very colorful. And you can involve children in the creation of "characters", and then the result will be as unpredictable and cute as possible.

In general, this day allows you to dream up, decorating for cupcakes with your own hands on a Halloween theme is an absolute scope for inventions. For example, "pumpkin", I believe, can be considered a classic of the genre. You can create them by adding pumpkin puree to the dough, which will give it a pleasant orange tone, special taste and aroma.

You can also bake witch hat themed cakes. To do this, put a piece of hard confectionery mass in the shape of a pointed hat on the top. It will be most successful to use dark red, dark blue, dark green or even black for this, and make the mousse under the hat bright and so densely thick that it does not float under the weight of the decoration. You can also make a hat from a colored waffle cone, placing it on a cream cake of a suitable shade and decorating with bows or other details. The decor of cupcakes will become even more beautiful if you buy colored molds for them. Then not only the hat will set the tone, but the whole product.

In general, mastic and your imagination will help you to take a walk on this holiday. Experiment with the topic and you will get a very interesting result. Once, for example, I made some real devilish cupcakes. On the dark base, tinted with cocoa, I neatly laid out a bright red cream cap, dyed with food coloring. And she carefully stuck mastic black horns into it. It was very colorful.

Stick snowflakes for our favorite holiday, New Year. Place them on a cap of airy white cream, they are quite soft and fluffy. You can grind it with coconut.

For a birthday or family celebration, write the names of your household members at the top of the cakes using the thinnest iron nozzle on a pastry bag.

And for a wedding anniversary, cupcakes-hearts are perfect. Sculpt them from the hardening mass, draw them with a syringe, or just buy gelatinous candy hearts. Complete the design with delicate cream and colored molds. Very romantic in my opinion. Perhaps such a sweet declaration of love will be the best way to express your feelings.

For kids

Probably, like any hostess, I would like to please children with culinary delights, because they are huge sweet tooth and lovers of innovations. The answer to the question of how to beautifully decorate cupcakes with cream so that babies like them is obvious - make everything bright and varied. And most importantly, do not skimp on decorations. Good old mastic will help in this. These are the suggestions:

Dedication to your favorite movies, games, superheroes. My sweet tooth loves cupcakes decorated in the form of the characters from the cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". It takes a little patience and green dye to create them. And don't forget the colorful headbands.

• > For those who like to create complex pictures - "Super Mario". In addition to the central character of this game, you can decorate with coins, stars, which is a little easier, but also in the theme. Another unpretentious person in the embodiment will be the hero of the game of the same name "Pac-Man".
• A lot of room for imagination gives the movie "Star Wars". It features a variety of characters with special looks that you can sculpt and fit on a cupcake hat. Yes, and this topic will appeal not only to children, but also to many adult fans of science fiction. To embody all this, place the chosen figurine on the cupcakes decorated with cream of a suitable color and serve.

Little animals. Another great theme is the animal world. I made for my household "deer", "sheep", "turkeys", "dogs", "turtles" and "ladybirds". All this can be sculpted from a thick confectionery mass or experiment with other ingredients:

• To create dog faces and deer, I put a soft round cookie as a face on beige, white or brown cream. For reindeer horns, you can take hard cookies, straws. Then we draw eyes and mouths - and the animal is ready. A bright tail under a sculpted turkey face can be sculpted or made in the form of multi-colored cream strips. You can even use jam. It is also permissible there to pick up a cookie that is suitable in shape.
• A lamb is fluffy white cream, lined with curls, on which we put “eyes” made of chocolates.
• "Ladybug" also with sweets. Place them on the bright red mousse, spread evenly over the top of the cake.
• "Turtle". We put the little animal body made of mastic, cookies, waffles or biscuits on the cupcake. Let only the paws and the muzzle look out. Place a bright green cream on top with an even hemisphere, or cover it with a semicircle from the tinted part. We make thin strips of the carapace pattern, put the “eye” dots.

Plants and flowers. Not only the fauna, but also the flora will be an excellent source of inspiration for the pastry chef-designer. Do you think, when making cupcakes, how to decorate their hats with cream? I have some great vegetal themes for you:

• Cactus cupcakes are one of my favorite treats at home. Making them is quite simple. Prepare any viscous cream by coloring it with herbaceous green food coloring. We squeeze it out on a cactus-shaped cupcake, you can plant a mastic flower on top. The only and prerequisite for achieving the desired effect is the presence of a pastry bag with different metal attachments. If you buy such a device and various attachments for it, you can create the most complex figures, very similar to cacti. A little training and baking will be indistinguishable from a real plant. We select a dark base for them in order to imitate the ground.
• Rose or chrysanthemum cupcakes are another floral theme, but much more delicate. Suitable for any occasion, will please both children and adults. To create such a basket of flowers, you will need a variety of colored cream with a dense consistency so as not to blur, a bag and, of course, various attachments. They will allow you to create thin and graceful petals, and then it's only a matter of your invention.

Food. Who said food shouldn't be made in the form of food? The perfect ground for a variety of designs. We decorate cupcakes with a variety of dishes:

• Watermelon cupcakes can either be sculpted or you can experiment with other ways to create. I drew a ring along the contour of the top of the cake with a light green composition, put the same composition inside it, but pink-red and supplemented it with sweets, you can also use chocolate chips instead.
• Another "watermelon": we prepare a biscuit, tint it with red dye, a greenish cap and balls of chocolate on top.
• Popcorn cupcakes will appeal to kids and movie lovers. Most often we see popcorn in red and white cups. Therefore, we purchase soft paper molds with white and red stripes. They can be purchased inexpensively from the online store. We make the pies themselves low so that the biscuit part does not peep out from under the paper cup. In a glass, using a pastry bag, create fluffy "balls" of milk or yellowish air cream. For such a design, its dense consistency is not necessary, it is quite possible to choose the lightest, even whipped cream. It turns out very effectively and gently.
• Another very entertaining thing is the cupcake burgers. They differ from all others in the way they are cooked and are especially liked by children. Although adults are completely delighted with such originality. For this we need a multi-colored cream: light green, brown, red-orange, yellow. After preparing the muffins, carefully cut them in half horizontally. On the bottom, apply a colored cream filling in thin layers. We return the cut top part to the top so as not to smudge the filler, and it was visible. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, of course. Burger is ready! And even more interesting will be the use of fruit slices. Put a slice of kiwi, strawberry, banana inside, brush with brown mousse instead of a cutlet and for a tender and soft taste. I recommend trying both and choosing the best one or alternating between them.
• Grilled cupcakes are a chocolate "mesh" created by yourself or bought ready-made, placed on a delicious yellow or orange "fire". Small pieces of marmalade of different shades strung on a skewer or a toothpick will become an excellent "kebab".
• From the mastic mass, you can come up with a variety of gastronomic products and put them on cakes. A cupcake on a cupcake, for example, will look very original.

So, we found out that there are many ways to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The key to all of these variations is always cook with love and be creative! Create your own creations, be inspired to make the best cupcake designs, photos, recipes of inventive housewives.

So, I use several cooking methods in my culinary experiments. I alternate them so that my family does not get bored, and it’s most interesting to do something new, to try original ideas.

I offer several options for your choice. Try it - and perhaps one of them will become your favorite!

Butter cream recipe for decorating cupcakes

Prepare:

• Oil - 250 g;
• Powder - 575 g;
• Milk - a quarter of a glass;
• Vanilla extract - 1 g;
• Food coloring (optional).

The cooking process is as follows. It is advisable to sift the icing sugar before use. The indicated amount in grams is approximately four and a half glasses, if you do not want to measure so accurately every time.

So, how to make cupcake cream. Melt the butter first. To do this, I take it out of the cold half an hour before starting to cook. Once melted, put it in a container (large enough to hold all the ingredients and conveniently work with a whisk in it).

Beat butter, adding vanilla little by little. Don't pour it all at once! First you need to add about half of the total. After that, we move on to other components: we introduce milk and vanillin. Whisk a little more and add the rest of the powdered sugar. Then beat until pleasant consistency. The mass should become fluffy. This will happen pretty quickly.

Chocolate ganache

This is a perfectly stable chocolate-based cupcake cream. So it's perfect for those with a sweet tooth. I tried this recipe first, since it is not too complicated, and my household simply adores chocolate goodies. After successfully decorating small cakes with chocolate caps, I started other confectionery experiments.

So, you need a minimum of ingredients:

• Chocolate - 250 g;
• Honey - 40 g;
• 30% cream - 270 g.

Place the cream in a saucepan to be put on fire. Add honey to it and let the mixture boil. Chop the chocolate finely with a knife. How finely it is cut will determine the simplicity and uniformity of mixing. Add it to the already warmed honey paste. Stir gently with a pastry spatula until smooth.

We put the resulting essence in the refrigerator and cool until the mass grasps so that it can hold its shape. The presence of honey and chocolate gives a sufficient viscosity and density, so that it is very convenient to decorate.

How to make sour cream cupcake cream

Sour cream is a product that is almost always in the house. And the result is very healthy, gentle and pleasant. Due to the simplicity of all the components, you can start cooking at any time, without even leaving your home to the store.

We will need:

• Sour cream (it is better to take with 20% fat content) - 360 g;
• Oil - 130 g;
• Flour - 3 spoons;
• Vanilla extract;
• Sugar - 110g;
• Egg.

For this option, I use completely melted butter, I take it out of the refrigerator for this a couple of hours before cooking.

We will cook on a steam bath. Therefore, you will need two pots or bowls, both heat-resistant, one for the water and one for the ingredients. Match them to each other in size so that one fits inside the other. In our first container, the liquid will boil. We collect water, but do not fill it completely, so that the container placed on top does not "sink". We put on fire and, while the water is boiling, we proceed to mixing the ingredients.

In a separate container, mix one chicken egg with sour cream. I take 20%, but it doesn't really matter. This only affects the fat content of the finished product. Pour sugar, vanillin and flour into the resulting mixture. Vanillin will fit 1 gram (as a rule, this is one packaged bag), it is no longer worth it - bitterness will appear.

When the water in the first saucepan boils, put the second one on it. Stir constantly so that not lumps form, but a uniform consistency and the best cream for cupcakes is obtained. Five minutes is usually enough for everything to thicken. But in order not to be mistaken, it is better to check for readiness. To do this, I run a spoon over the surface of the mixture. If it does not flow back into the formed furrow, you are done.

After removing from heat, cover the resulting mixture with foil and send to the refrigerator.

To bring to the final state, beat the butter and add it gradually to the cooled composition. We do not stop working as a mixer. This will add lightness, airiness and softness to the taste. In my opinion, this is one of the best delicacies, so some laboriousness of preparation is fully justified.

Meringue - a cream for cupcakes that keeps its shape, recipe with photo

This option is suitable for those who will not regret spending time preparing a delicious dessert and will put some effort into this. But on the other hand, as a result, you can get the perfect decor: varied and original. Everyone will like this decoration. This is one of the favorite variations of my family, because you can experiment with it as you like.

To decorate 12 cupcakes you will need:

• Chicken egg - 3 pcs;
• Water - a quarter of a glass;
• Sugar - 1 glass;
• Lemon acid;
• Butter - 170g;
• Vanilla extract;
• Food coloring (optional).

Eggs need room temperature, so we get them out of the refrigerator in advance, like butter (30 minutes). We separate only the protein from the eggs.

We place it in a deep container. Make sure to make sure it is completely clean and dry so that the most delicious cupcake cream is prepared properly.

Pour a quarter of a glass of water into a small saucepan and add sugar there. We put the container on medium heat and bring it to about 120 degrees. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from burning. As a result, the sugar will completely dissolve, leaving no lumps or grains.

Beat the whites well, adding a pinch of citric acid to them. Pour the ready-made syrup there and beat it too. This should be done for a long time until the composition cools down. It takes me a little less than half an hour.

After cooling, add a little butter and beat again. In this case, the volume will begin to decrease and fall off, but after whipping, uniformity and smoothness will return. If this does not happen, it does not matter. In this case, I put the mass in the refrigerator. After ten minutes in the cold, everything turns out fine.

When you get a uniform consistency, put in one gram of vanillin, a dye if you want to make the mixture colored, and any flavoring fillers or additives. At the same time, the dessert perfectly retains its shape. So I suggest trying it for everyone who loves cooking and sweet treats!

Cupcake cream simple recipe with mascarpone

You will need:

• Cream - 250 ml;
• Banana - 1 pc;
• Mascarpone cheese - 130 g;
• Sugar - 65 g;
• Vanilla extract.

For making such a dessert, I prefer 33% cream, I recommend it to everyone. We take a banana of medium to small size and quite ripe.

There is one trick in this recipe: refrigerate the components and even the dishes that you will use. Then the process will go much better and faster.

So, pour cream and cheese into a container, sugar on top, a little vanillin. Begin to beat the mixture with a mixer. And first we turn on the minimum speed, gradually it can be increased. The mass will soon become lush. Gradually knead the mashed fruit there and beat. At the end, you will get a homogeneous consistency.

Using mastic

It's not just cupcake creams that can be used to decorate. One of the wonderful techniques for letting your imagination play out is mastic.

It is prepared from the most common ingredients and does not require any special culinary skills, so feel free to experiment.

You will need:

• Marshmallow sweets - 100 g;
• Lemon juice - one spoon;
• Powdered sugar - one or one and a half glasses (it will be clear during the cooking process);

Multi-colored food colors.

First, pour citrus juice over the marshmallows and microwave them for 10-20 seconds. You can steam it instead. As a result, the product will noticeably increase in volume.

In this recipe, food paint is usually used, since the variety of all kinds of colors is one of the charms of mastic. We introduce the coloring matter into the marshmallow and mix very thoroughly so that the color is uniform.

Continuing to stir, add a little powdered sugar. At some point, the mass will become difficult to mix in the container. At this point, start kneading like dough. Sprinkle the table, as if with flour, with powdered sugar, and when we knead, we continue to pour the powder. When the sweet "dough" stops sticking, wrap it in foil without gaps and send it to the refrigerator.

Cool down for half an hour and you're done!

Cooking tools

In the course of cooking, especially if you are engaged in confectionery, you cannot do without the use of special equipment that will facilitate the whole process for you. And sometimes, without the necessary special tool, you will not get exactly what you wanted.

If you ask how to properly decorate cupcakes with cream, I will answer that the best way to do this is with a special pastry bag. I purchased the bag and attachments for it on the website. A spatula, various vessels and spoons will also come in handy. All this is simply necessary to decorate the cupcake with a beautiful cream hat.

To prepare the actual biscuit, baking tins are also useful. And if you want to sculpt from mastic, then stencils will not interfere.

Beautiful presentation

When everything is ready for use, for the greater joy of the household, it remains only interesting to arrange everything that we have prepared. There are tons of tips on how to serve your cupcakes. I believe that this is a personal matter for every housewife, because only you know very well what will please your family the most. There are just a couple of universal tricks for all options.

To serve the cupcakes well, put them on the dish in such quantity that they do not touch each other with their hats, otherwise their shape may deteriorate. The cream tops themselves, regardless of the selected recipe, can be sprinkled with chocolate or coconut chips, powdered sugar, decorated with various berries, sweets and cookies. You can also use edible confectionery decorations for decoration, which can be found in an online store or made yourself from the same mastic.

In any case, when decorating pastries, be creative and experiment. Regardless of whether you chose a simple cupcake cream or a complex one, decided to difficult to decorate it or leave it in a classic form, a cutely laid out decorated top will not only make the cupcake attractive in appearance, but also give it a uniquely delicate and original taste, for which they are so much appreciated these delicious little cakes.
