In case you missed it before, I'm bringing home my lace stenciled cupcakes tutorial. Originally posted here at Snips and Spice.
Sometimes I just want the cake part of a cupcake, not all the intensely sweet frosting. I love cream cheese frosting but I think that buttercream and royal icing is just too much! When I have store bought cupcakes at a party or function, I usually use the wrapper to conveniently wipe off all but some of the icing. If you're like me then maybe you'll enjoy this elegant alternative.
I purchased an 1/8 of yard of lace at Hobby Lobby and cut the strip into 12 squares.
(If you want to make 24 cupcakes purchase 1/4 yard of lace)
It couldn't be more simple. Place a square of lace over the cupcake and generously sift Powdered sugar over the top.
(Be sure to use a new square of lace for each cupcake)
Carefully remove the lace,
and voila! A beautifully stenciled cupcake.
Lovely, aren't they?
*Note- cupcakes should be dusted just before serving (: *
Oh how pretty.Im going to make them maybe this weekend.Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty, would be very sweet for a tea party!
ReplyDeleteMy nieces will go nuts over this ladylike treat!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet idea! Wish I'd seen this for my wedding! We did a small red velvet cake for cutting and then cupcakes for guests instead of sheetcakes. Cute!
ReplyDeleteJust saw you on Ashley's blog. I am loving that maxi dress you did. Your blog is so cute. How do I follow your blog?
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! This would also look amazing on a full-sized cake top!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple but effective idea! I love it, especially with the red of the red velvet cupcakes :) I might give this a go next time I make cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteThese look so pretty. I've done the same thing with paper doilies before. I completely agree about wanting to ditch the frosting.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! I love stenciling with lace! So fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute alternative, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI just found this post and totally love it. Very elegant effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best idea ever!! Lace is so lovely, and now I can eat it! Sort of...haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty idea!
ReplyDeleteAloha All: I was wondering if you could use matcha tea instead of the powdered sugar? of course you could use cacao. I also ground up food grade rose petals and could use that. Any other suggestions on powder other that powdered sugar?
