Decorating Cupcakes for Spring

Spring is the perfect season to decorate cupcakes. There are many different ways to decorate your cupcakes to reflect the spring, from decorating the cupcakes with baby animals to decorating your cupcakes with fresh blooms. All you need are a few simple items and you can decorate your cupcakes however you choose.

Amimals

One way that you can decorate your cupcakes to reflect spring is to turn your cupcakes into baby animals. Spring is the time of rebirth and what better represents that than adorable chicks. All you need is colored icing, black sprinkles and an icing tip to create a feathered appearance.

Cakes

Another way that you can decorate your cupcake is to turn your cupcakes into a cupcake cake in the shape of a flower. Since the cupcakes are already circles, it is truly easy to recreate the look of flowers. All you would need is frosting, food coloring and cupcakes. Should you just want to recreate the blooms and not the stem of the flower, all you need is yellow food coloring for the center cupcake and additional colors for the petals. After your cupcakes are frosted in the appropriate colors, you can create your flower bloom by placing the yellow cupcake in the center of your plate and arranging the colored "petals" in a circle around the yellow cupcake.

Spring Decorations

One last way which you can decorate your cupcakes for the springtime is to make use of the many Easter candies available, such as peeps. Decorate your cupcakes with pastel shades of frosting and simply top it with one of those delicious marshmallow treats.
