Expert Tips

Use edible glitter in place of the colored sugar or candy sprinkles. It adds sparkle to cake decorations.

Check out party-supply or cake-decorating stores for fun birthday candles. Lots of new and unique shapes are available.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

    I made these cupcakes for a one year old's birthday party. I also made a small smash cake with a couple of flowers for decoration. I used brightly colored sugar for a more wow impact. I filled the center of the flower with a a little blog of colored icing. Two things to keep in mind: oil your scissors (which will need a good scrub afterwards) and press the flowers in while the icing is still wet so the marshmallow sticks. If you want to see a photo of my version, click here http://fromchapelhilltochickenville.blogspot.com/2010/02/flower-cake-cupcakes.html
