WFMW: Easy-Traveling Cupcakes


Bringing cupcakes to a kids' party is a great idea, but if you're super particular about messes like me, you need to read on. Fully-frosted cupcakes are a mess to get in and out of a box and they can get crowded and the frosting mushed up and it's just messy all around. (OK, I know I need therapy about that but whatever...)

I got a large cake-decorating tip and swirled store-bought icing right in the center of a cake-mix cupcake, and topped it with a "Kissables" candy piece. So easy! I have NO experience with cake decorating and yet this was so easy to do. The kids love the big bite of icing and they are so much neater to get in and out of the box.

If you don't want the hassle of buying cake-decorating tips or bags, just use a quart-size Ziploc bag and fill it with frosting. Snip a large piece off a corner and go to town!

Great idea! My students tend to lick their fingers while passing out cupcakes w/ a lot of frosting! Gross! I am sure that the teachers appreciate these!

That is so cute! I make large quantities of cupcakes for our kids in Jr. church and can never frost them until we actually GET there...I'll try this instead!
