If you’re organising a party of any kind, there isn’t a nicer treat for your guests than a beautifully presented cupcake.  Of course, I am a little biased towards these little morsels of great taste and fun (just look at the Pink Frosting logo!), but cupcakes truly are an easy way to create a beautiful cake presentation for your celebration.  In my series of party presentation ideas, I’m going to look at beautiful ways to style up your party without too much investment in time or money – after all, most of our customers at Pink Frosting’s online party shop are busy, busy, busy and want to create a celebration that looks spectacular without spending days tinkering away making crafts.

To present a gorgeous cupcake for your party, first start with a standard cupcake.  This is my basic recipe:

• 2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 125g butter, melted, cooled
• 2 x 59g eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 12 x 1/3-cup capacity muffin pan. Alternatively, line holes with paper cases. Combine flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre.
2. Add milk, butter, eggs and vanilla to flour mixture. Using a large metal spoon, stir gently to combine.
3. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
4. Once your cupcakes are cool, frost them with a swirly buttercream.   Here’s our easy how to create a swirly buttercream top on your cupcakes demonstration.

Now you’re ready to present the cupcakes and make them suit your theme.  No matter what you are celebrating, Pink Frosting’s cupcake decorations shop has a huge range of themed cupcake toppers, decorations, racks and presentation stands, and cupcake wrappers to suit your style. 

Using cupcake wrappers is so simple!  They come flat packed, so take one end of the wrapper with each hand and hug the wrapper around the cupcake until the ends meet.  Then loop the smaller end through the slit (outside to inside so you’re hiding the ends) and you have a beautifully wrapped cupcake!  From there, you can place your cupcakes into a cupcake rack or stand for beautiful presentation instead of a cake, or if you’re using the cupcakes as favours, carefully place the cupcakes into a cupcake box and tie a coordinating ribbon around it’s centre.  Perfection and it only took about an hour from start to finish.

Here are some gorgeous cupcake wrappers presented perfectly for your inspiration:

This 3 tier gift box cake is covered in red and green fondant with a white bow on top and snowflakes falling along the sides.

These Christmas gift box cakes were for a retirement party. There were three different cake flavors – one red velvet with cream cheese, another was yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and the final gift was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling.

We took our popular farm animal cake and dressed everyone up in Santa hats to capture the Christmas spirit and celebrate a 1st birthday. Happy Holidays!!

This baby shower cake topper with cupcakes is decked out with a red band and bow at the base of the tier. Atop the cupcake topper is a pregnant lady dressed up in a red and white santa outfit. Inside the cake was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.

Pink Cake Box found plaid cupcake liners…. which matched my decor so well! I created a Santa topper and cupcakes also for our annual Christmas cocktail party! The cupcake flavors were pistachio green velvet ( a new flavor that was collaborated by Michael and Tara) with chai tea buttercream, red velvet with cream cheese, chocolate with white chocolate peppermint and vanilla with hazelnut frangelico. We also made truffles, mini mousse tarts and lots of cookies!!

Inspired by our Winter Wonderland Wedding cake, this 3 tier cake was created for a corporate event in the Upper East Side in New York City. Pink Cake Box also incorporated the bow from our Topsy Turvy Damask Wedding Cake. Flavors included vanilla cake with raspberry chambord buttercream and vanilla with chocolate buttercream and fresh strawberries.

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly inspired for 2011!

Start with buttercream icing.  The best recipe is here:  Best Pink Frosting Recipe in the World!  You will also need a 1M open star cake decorating tip which you can buy at Bakery Sugarcraft, as well as disposable cake piping bags which you can purchase at any supermarket.

Step 1: 

Hold Open Star Decorating Tip 1M approximately 0.5 – 1 cm above cupcake top at a 90° angle to cupcake surface. Pipe a spiral of icing, beginning at the outer edge and working inward.

Step 2:

Stop pressure; pull tip away.

Step 3:

Pipe a second spiral, smaller (not as wide) on top. End spiral at centre. Stop pressure; pull tip straight up and away.

Voila.  Now you can create some beautiful cupcakes like these amazing creations! 

I would love to see your swirly cupcake creations!

I love the main cake’s design with draped pink pearls and peonies.  The cake has a lovely vintage feel and gives the guests something to really anticipate for Lisa’s wedding day!

Yummy cookie favours are really one of my favourite ideas for wedding bomboniere.  Guests love a cookie and particularly one home-made and decorated with love and affection.  Our wedding dress cookie favours make a great bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or wedding favour for your guests and look spectacular as well as taste divine!  No guests will leave these scruptious favours on their plates!

To begin, you’ll need the 4 piece wedding cookie cutter set by Wilton at Pink Frosting.    You’ll also need a steady hand, disposable decorating bags and some extra cookies to experiment on before you get the techniques perfect.  Here is the Wilton how to adapted to help us Aussies:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon no-colour almond extract
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Makes: Each cookie serves 1.

Enjoy shopping and thank you for your support in helping Pink Frosting become one of Australia’s online success stories and best-loved stores.

I was contacted by a customer last week who loved the range so much that she used the design as inspiration for creating her final cake for her decorating course at Planet Cake.   I am completely in awe and in love with this stunning cake that Veronica turned out. 

Veronica Turner started cake decorating about 3 years ago, after the birth of her second child.  She has completed 7 courses with Planet Cake, and since has evolved to making wedding & specialty cakes for family and friends. Veronica’s long term plan is to have her own business making wedding and specialty cakes, hopefully within a 3 year period.  We are so excited about Veronica’s talent and look forward to her career change in the future… and plenty more gorgeous inspirational images of her cake designs.

Happy Celebrating!
