Before putting the decorations on top of the cupcakes, I piped the cream cheese frosting, using the star-tip, onto the cupakes. For the bunny cupcake, I melted some Hershey's chocolate and placed the melted chocolate into a silicone mold of the bunny head. To melt the chocolate, I boiled water and then put a glass boil on top of the pot. When melting the chocolate, I made sure that the glass bowl did not touch the boiling water. In order to make the chocolate cool faster, I simply stuck the chocolate in the silicon molds in the refrigerator. I found that working with milk chocolate is much easier than white chocolate. For the santa hat, stocking, and wreath cupcakes, I simply placed a tip on the tops of some red, white, and green store-bought tube decorating icing.
What I hope to accomplish next is to continue to increase my ability to decorate cupcakes, since they require many more, smaller decorations.
