Cupcake Designs

If you want to learn how to make cupcake cakes it is as easy as designing your pattern. First bake your cupcakes and allow them to cool. Arrange your unfrosted cupcakes into the pattern you'd like. Arranging your design before you decorate the cupcakes will make it easier to move them around until you are happy with the design.

You can make these more of a pull apart cake by frosting them all together. Or frost each cupcake individually as below.

~You may want to add a dot of frosting on the bottom of each cupcake to keep it secure.
