They are easy to prepare: all you have to do is bake a cupcake recipe of your choice, then choose some icing to match the cute edible ladybug decorations you’re going to put on top of each cupcake. Another method of creating funny cupcakes is to bake them in ladybug shapes using one of those special silicone pans similar to the ones we describe here below. This is entertaining, but if you don’t have enough time or if you are not in the mood for playing with food, you can still buy some ladybug cupcake boxes or some ladybug party supplies and call it a day.

Ladybug Cupcakes Hard Sugar Decorations

ladybug cupcakes decorationsBack to our ladybug cupcakes, here’s an example of edible hard sugar decorations available on Amazon for as little as $6.58 for 16 pieces. Made 100% from sugar and food coloring, these decorations are Kosher certified and safe for children’s consumption. Even so, children parties should be closely supervised by adults, because a small child could choke with such decorations if left unattended.
The sugar ladybugs are 1 inch in size, so each cupcake would probably accommodate only one on top of it. Nonetheless, if you decide to use the decorations for a bigger cake, you can arrange the cute little bugs around some hard sugar flowers. The effect on your little party guests is guaranteed.

Crazy Bug Flexible Silicone Pan

The kids would be sorry to eat their dessert because they will want to keep it. This cupcakes pan measures 10 3/4” x 8 ¼” x 1 1/4″, it is dishwasher safe and can be used in the hot oven up to 450 F. One pan bakes 8 cupcakes, muffins or gelatin figures.
