How to Make a Patrick Star Cupcake Topper

Do you know who Patrick Star is? He is SpongeBob Squarepants’ funny best friend. He is a pink starfish and wears a vividly colored pair of shorts. If you have a fascination for Patrick, show everyone how adorable he can be by making a cupcake topper in his likeness. Here’s how:

Aside from cupcakes and the usual frosting, you will need star-shaped sugar cookies as well. To begin making your Patrick Star cupcake topper, you’ll need slightly melted pink icing and drying rack. Put your cookie on top of the rack and begin coating the top part with the pink icing. Make sure that the surface of the cookie is thoroughly covered. Shake the cooking on the rack to let the excess icing drip off. Sprinkle a bit of red colored sugar on the cookie and let it cool.

As for Patrick’s cute shorts, you will need neon green and purple colored buttercream icing. Use a pastry bag to pipe in the shorts over two points of the star. You can use a butter knife to smooth in the buttercream. Next, you’ll need to pipe in a few flowers over the shorts using the purple buttercream.

Use white icing to make Patrick’s eyes and black icing for the eyebrows, center of the eyes, mouth and belly button accents. Let the cookie dry completely before putting in on top of a frosted cupcake.
