Summer is almost over! What better way to celebrate the end than with the cutest
Cupcake Skewers!
Cupcake Skewers!
The lovely Courtney Dial, from Pizzazzerie {Your Guide to Entertaining Inspiration},
came up with this great "Do It Yourself Guide to making Cupcake Skewers."
Enjoy...
Step 1
Fill your mini cupcake baking pan with your cake batter. I use a small scoop but you can use a spoon too. Fill to 1/3-1/2 full in each baking cavity.
Step 2
Admire your cooling mini cupcakes. Do not touch! Let cool completely.
Step 3
Gather your skewers. You can use grilling skewers or lollipop sticks (shown below). Whatever you prefer is fine! Then place several cupcakes on a working surface. Find a round cookie cutter that is between 1.5-2.5 inches across. I have used various sizes, just be sure it’s a little smaller than your baked mini cupcake.
Step 4
Flip baked mini cupcakes upside down. Using small round cutter, push through and discard of edges.
Step 5
Gather some fun ribbons and tie either a knot or bow about an inch down from skewer or stick. If you don’t want to use ribbon, then wrap a piece of aluminum foil around stick or twine, or something that will help the cupcake not slide down the stick!
Step 6.
Place your cupcake on stick. I find it easiest to keep the cupcake right side up when skewering. Top with your favorite icing!
Step 7
Adorn with your favorite sprinkles, flowers, glitter, toppers, whatever your heart desires!
