Hi everyone, im after some ideas.
Im donating some cupcakes to my daughters school fete (shes 9) and im after some inspiration!
Want to make them look really good.
Any help with be appreciated

Does the fete have a theme? I assume it will be outdoors. If that's the case and there's no particular theme, then I would do something summery...green icing piped like grass and either a big gumpaste colorful flower or several little ones, but definitely colorful, like orange, yellow, and red flowers.

You could do "bug" cupcakes. I use the cookie wafers sold at the grocery store (maybe 2" round, and chocolate). Cut the wafer in half (very simple) and use these as the wings for the bug. Ice some cupcakes a solid yellow, others a solid red. The yellow will be a bee, the red a lady bug. Pipe black stripes on the yellow cupcake. Pipe red dots on the wings for the ladybug. Use large gumdrops for the bug's head. Yellow gumdrop for the bee, black for the lady bug. You can make other bugs using green icing and the green gumdrops, too. I push the wings into the cupcake, but you can attach them with large dabs of icing, if you want.

Here are some of my cupcakes!
