Cupcake Decorating Idea's

Having young kids is so much fun and one of my kids favorite things is to eat cupcakes. Nothing like having you own little cake...that you don't have to share. Over the past few years cupcakes have really gained in popularity and almost got wore out. I try not to make them so often that they loose there flair.  These three examples are ones that I, or my sisters have done for little one birthday parties! Enjoy!

WHAT A HOOT!!

These little guys were so cute and just as yummy to eat especially if you love Chocolate like me!

1 Box Oreo Cookies
1 Chocolate Cake Mix Prepared in Cupcakes
1 Bag M&M's
1 tub Chocolate Frosting

After letting you cupcakes cool, frost cupcakes with Chocolate frosting. Gently turn Oreo cookies until the cream stays to one side and place on top of cupcake. Repeat once more for the other eye and place one yellow m&m in place for the nose and dab a tiny bit of chocolate frosting on 2 other candies for the eyes.

IT'S A LUAU!

These are beautiful!
