Edible Decorations For Easter Cupcakes

Although the most common places when we think Easter are colorful eggs and bunnies, it’s not a must to have them on everything at our table. Easter cupcakes can be fun with any kind of topper, provided that the dinner table is already decorated with traditional Easter motifs.

In this article, I want to show you a few ideas of decorating your cupcakes for Easter. The cupcakes themselves will be baked following your preferred recipes, with chocolate, vanilla, bananas or whatever other flavor you may like.

Assorted Edible Candy Confetti Sprinkles

These candy confetti sprinkles are available on Amazon for the price of $2.69 the 1.5 oz. jar. Being edible, they are perfect for cupcake decorating in case there are children amongst your dinner guests. The jar contains a mix of candies in shapes of little ducks, chickens and bunnies, in various pale colors such as blue, pink, orange, yellow and white. The candies are certified Kosher and they contain the following ingredients: sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed, soybean), dextrin, soy lecithin, corn starch, carnauba wax, confectioners glaze, natural and artificial flavors and artificial coloring.

The Easter Cakes Decoration Sugar Pantry 1 Kit

This decoration kit has really cute items, but some of them could be a bit too big for cupcakes topping. Anyway, this is what you get for your $25.81:

• 3 bunny heads edible hard sugar decorations (2 inches, colors blue, pink and yellow)
• 4 beau bunny heads with bow ties (smaller, perfect for decorating Easter cupcakes)
• 4 chicks sugar shapes (1-1/2 inches, all yellow)
• 6 carrots sugar shapes (2 inches, orange carrots, green leaves)
• 3 large Easter eggs sugar shapes (2-1/2 inches, various decorations)
• 12 smaller speckled Easter eggs

• 18 Easter mini charms edible hard sugar decorations (great for cupcakes topping)

All sugar shapes in this Easter decoration kit are made 100% from sugar with certified food coloring. Before buying, make sure to read the product label, because they may contain small amounts of other things such as soy protein, egg whites, modified food starch, guar gum, Trietryl Citrate, wheat flour or barley flour. These edible decorations are certified Kosher.

Wilton Floral Collection Flower Making Set

If you want to make your own cupcake toppers, you could use one of these sets which will help you make gum paste flowers that look quite realistic. The set includes 24 plastic cutters, a leaf mold, 2 foam squares for modeling, 3 modeling tools and a book with instructions for use and cake decoration ideas. The set is designed to be used with gum paste, but it works with fondant, too. It’s fairly easy to use, but sophisticated models like roses may require some practice before they come out perfect. Anyway, cutting your own Easter cupcakes decorations is an excellent opportunity to involve the children in the dinner preparations, thus enabling them to develop their craft skills.
