Decorating Cakes and Cupcakes

Preparation

Step 1

To add your own special touch to freshly frosted cakes or cupcakes, try this easy method developed by Kit Rollins of Cedarburg, Wis. Press a simply shaped cookie cutter into smooth frosting on a cake or cupcake. Using the cookie cutter outline as a guide, fill the shape with sprinkles, colored sugar, or another confection of a contrasting color. Carefully remove the cookie cutter, leaving behind a fanciful decoration.
