Use rolling pin to roll gumdrops flat. Use kitchen scissors or knife to cut crown from each gumdrop. Place gumdrop crowns on tops of cupcakes.

Use white, purple, or blue frosting in place of the pink!
If desired, place frosting in resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off 1 corner of bag, and pipe frosting onto cupcakes.
