Quick Tip~ Continuing the pattern
Adore a pattern on a cupcake liner? Why not continue the pattern to the cake itself; use fondant, modelling paste, buttercream piping, food paint, royal icing or chocolate. It can be as delicate as a soft toned floral peeping over the edge or perhaps polka dot royal icing love heart cookies topping cupcakes in polka dot liners.
Do it yourself at home by scanning in your cupcake liner and either copying the pattern by eye or tracing it & transferring to card-stock so you can cut a stencil.
hmmm, would have been better if I had ironed this cupcake liner between baking paper ;)
Don't stop there, bring the pattern into gift tags for boxed cupcakes and favour bags too.
Happy Baking :)
*I used the foil liners I was having trouble with other day... even with the heavier mud-cake batter they still separated from the sides. I did ganache the cakes at first and it leaked down the sides so I had to spread frosting over the top to cover.
