Give your next birthday bash an extra cute touch with cupcake wrappers. They are easy to use and have a stunning effect! Fancy Flours carries nearly 20 different designs- perfect for any occasion! Cupcake wrappers simply wrap around any standard-sized cupcake (a tab on the back holds it together). You can even use them again if you are careful not to get icing on them. If your cupcakes need a kick- try cupcake wrappers for a little pizazz!
Cute as can be! These little rabbit cookies are sure to steal the show! They are first iced with royal icing. Once dry, wafer paper cut-outs are applied with corn syrup. You can then sprinkle with a light dusting of white edible glitter to get a shimmering effect. For the final touch, pipe a border around the edge of the egg. Watch as your friends “ooh” and “ahh” in amazement! Make sure to use the “No Fail Sugar Cookie” recipe located in the recipe section of the BLOG for delightfully yummy cookies that hold their shape every time! Have Fun!
