Whenever friends are invited to birthday parties, we ensure that there are plenty to eat and keep ourselves perfectly satiated. Without doubt, the birthday cake is always there to keep our sweet tooth pleased. However, these birthday cakes have become somewhat cliché as an idea and most people of today make an attempt to do something new and absolutely different.
With the concept of being unique ruling over each and everything, most of us are bent on serving delicious cupcakes on birthdays now. With decorating ideas and innovative designs, it is now possible to change the very concept of age old birthday cakes and really wow the guests. Serving savoury delicacies is not a matter of joke and the best possible way of turning them irresistible is by coming up with cute designs.
Cupcakes are not just for the kids. If you are thinking that, you are wrong. Regardless of age, everyone prefers to celebrate birthday and it is fun to change things as much as possible. No one loves to serve the same food, drinks or dessert on birthday every year. Moreover, making things different also allows your guests to have something to remember for days to come. Here are some ideas to decorate cupcakes in the next party.
Different techniques are used to design cupcakes. The very first thing that is to be remembered while you order cupcakes or bake one is the theme of the party. If there is a theme, it is better to design the cupcakes accordingly. The possibilities are absolutely endless with cupcakes and you can make pirates on cupcakes, use the icing cone to draw butterflies or make beautiful and small flowers with the fondant.
Spirals and swirls: Fill piping bag with icing with chocolate, strawberry, vanilla icing or mint and make spiral shape on the cupcakes.
Chocolate melt: Melt chocolate chips and dip cupcakes in them. You can use jelly beans, sprinkles and even tiny candies for decoration.
Chocolate shaving: Try sprinkling cupcakes with chocolate shavings. Mix chocolate shavings and chocolate.
Cream filling: If you do not order cupcakes and want to make them all by yourself, you can fill the centre with blueberry, chocolate, butterscotch, vanilla and even strawberry cream fillings. Simply place piping tube on top of cupcakes and squeeze in the filling.
Birds and animals: In order to decorate, the faces of birds and animals can be drawn as well. Nuts, sugar candies, jelly beans and Twizzlers can be used as well to shape animals or birds.
Flags: You can also be creative and draw the flag of different nations on top of cupcakes. Allow the guests to guess the name of the nation to have a fun filled event. A piping bag or icing can be used for designing them.
It seems we have discussed a lot about decoration and now it is time to design and decorate them. Use your creative faculty and follow your heart to design them.
