Expert Tips

To order the decorations shown, go to fancyflours.com and search for royal icing sugar decorations.

For more vivid color, use paste icing color.

Let kids get creative and have fun decorating the butterfly wings. They can even pick out their favorite candies to use.

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.
