I've been asked to do 24 cupcakes for a church's vacation bible school. Their theme is "Bible School Boot Camp" and they asked me to do the cupcakes with a camo top. Just curious as to what would be the easiest way to do that. You don't normally smooth out the icing on a cupcake, so how could I make it camoflauge without smoothing and if I do smooth it, what would be the easiest way as you don't level a cupcake? icon_confused.gif TIA for the help!

I would think you would be able to get a nice look from putting blobs of the different colors on the tops and then smooth with a viva paper towel and that would help blend the edges into eachother..........you might also think about doing a cupcake cake! Maybe with the emblem of the Church with camo around the outside border or something like that! I think the camo would be a lot less time consuming if done on a cupcake cake vs. doing each individual cupcake!

My thought kind of goes with what KHalstead said. Make each cupcake a solid color, then when put together they would look like camo...???

I saw a camo cake that someone did using the star tip with different shades of green, etc for the camo effect and it looked pretty good! You could always put in on like this, then smooth it out.

Just use your star tip and do several differant colors on each cupcake, this way you would not have to smooth.
