How to Decorate Cupcakes to Look Like a Puppy
- 1). Bake a variety of cupcakes. Choose at least two flavors so that guests have a choice at your party. You may use your favorite prepared mix, or your own recipe from scratch for this project.
- 2). Allow the baked cupcakes to cool thoroughly. Ice the top of the cupcake with a thin layer of the icing. Use just enough icing to cover the top of the cupcake, which may be less than you normally use. Your additional decorations will make up for this.
- 3). Use a small, vanilla round cookie and place this in the lower center of the cupcake to create the base for a dog's snout.
- 4). Place a flat round candy in the center of the cookie to make its nose. Use decorator's icing in a coordinating color and draw two backward letter-J shapes from the bottom of candy to create the mouth.
- 5). Place two small colorful candies just above the circular cookie to make the puppy's eyes.
- 6). Add ears to the puppy cupcake using your favorite rectangular cookie. Choose one that has rounded edges to make the ears look more realistic. Place one cookie on each side of the cupcake.
- 7). Try other colors of icing and add any details to the cupcakes to make them look more like your special family pet. You might add spots or any other unique markings of your dog.
