Fantastic Beasts: Butterbeer Cupcakes Recipe!

Easy Edible Roses on Cupcake Tutorial!

 Easy Edible Roses on Cupcake Tutorial! This is a simple DIY to make your cupcakes look amazing!  I am a serious crafter and I have had some experience with cake decorating... but I don't love it.  I don't love to spend my time making pretty food that won't last. So I admire people that have that patience and skill...but I prefer easy tricks to make food cute.  This trick involves one of my favorite treats! Air Heads! I got this big bag of Air Heads from Oriental Trading!  You will also need some cupcakes. You can totally use store bought ones or make up a mix.

The tiny roses in clusters of 3 use 1 airhead each, so 3 per cupcake. And we used green airheads for the leaves. Open 3 packages of Airheads and cut in half the long way.  Just like this. ...

Earthworm Cupcakes! Harry Potter Week!

 Earthworm Cupcakes!  Harry Potter Week! These wormy cupcakes are the perfect dessert for a Halloween or Harry Potter Party! These worms look so real, it's disturbing!  I used a cake mix and store bought frosting. I put the frosting in the mixer and whipped it up so it would be easier to pipe onto the cupcakes. Then I put it in a piping bag with a large star tip and just did a little swirl of frosting on each.  You could get really creative and crush some Oreo's to make dirt. Then I used these Realistic Gummy Worms from Oriental Trading Company . They are so realistic, it's scary.  I cut them in half. And stuck the cut end into the cake and then set the rest of the worm across the cupcake. They are awesome!  Great treat for a little boy's birthday party, Cub Scouts, Halloween dessert or like me, a Harry Potter Party! Slugulus Eructo! Eat Slugs! This post published on Doodlecraft first
