Mrs. G has heard a lot of people expressed how much they dislike about gum paste and fondant decoration on their cupcakes. Most of them agree that they make the cupcakes look like a "super model", but those decoration kill the flavor of a cupcake. So if you don't like gum paste and fondant, what could you/C for Cupcake Cupcakery do to make your cupcakes look as amazing as their taste?
There are quite a few alternatives -
Seasonal fresh fruits - such as strawberry, raspberry, and cherry.
Home made candied orange |
Dried fruits and nuts
Cashew Nut Brittle Cupcakes (Picture from Blog - Our Eyes Eat First) Candies and other treats - or if you like a treat on the top of your cupcake, we could use candies, cookies, coconuts, etc. |
Easter chocolate candies with toasted coconut |
Belgium waffle |
Powder sugar, powder chocolate or shredded chocolate
