Are you fed up with the same old birthday cakes every year? Why not create something a little bit more special with cupcakes? You can really personalise your cakes with something that represents the person who is celebrating.
There are many ideas you can use when creating your birthday cupcakes. Here are a few to get you started.
Lettering
You could spell out “Happy Birthday” or a special message. Spelling out the name makes the birthday cupcake more personal and can be very decorative. You could do this using letter candles, piping on with icing or sweets. You could make a letter out of smarties or liquorice in their favourite colours or taste. If you really wanted to you could space out the cupcakes themselves to make the letters.
Toppings
Perhaps they support a football team or have a favourite colour? You could use food colouring to dye the topping to make the birthday cupcakes suitable. The topping could be made from icing or butter cream. You could also cover the tops in sugar sprinkles in their favourite colours.
The topping could be piped and whipped which looks professional and tempting. Try adding chocolate to the butter cream for great taste. Chocolate chips scattered on top adds an extra depth.
Other ideas include silver balls, jelly sweets, lollipops or even printed rice paper with photos printed on. These would probably have to be done professionally.
Flavours
Does that special someone have a particular taste? Butter cream itself has a rich taste and texture. Add vanilla essence or peppermint for an unusual flavour. Melted Belgian chocolate can be added to the mixture for a truly chocolate cupcake.
Why not add extra ingredients into the mix such as raisins, sultanas or chocolate chips?
To be different why not use muffin cases? These make larger cupcakes and seem more substantial. There are many way you can make your birthday cupcakes special, but you can always buy them on the Internet. Lots of websites sell cakes and confectionery and are well worth checking out if you want some professional cakes.
