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.

Hello Kitty Cupcakes

Here’s a cupcake decorating idea that would appeal to girls and women alike – Hello Kitty Cupcakes! It is very easy to make and very cute too.

The first thing you need to do is frost your cupcake with white buttercream icing. Take a large marshmallow and cut it diagonally in half using a sharp pair of scissors. The cut marshmallow should look like a cat’s ear. You might want to further cut them in half to fully resemble Hello Kitty’s ears.

Push the marshmallow ears unto the sides of cupcake. Take a dollop of white frosting and smooth it over the ears to secure it properly and to eliminate any gaps. If you have trouble smoothing the icing properly, you can dip in your spatula in hot water and then smooth the icing. Just make sure that you have wiped off any water before using the spatula.

Grab your piping bag with red frosting and pipe in Hello Kitty’s bow on the upper right side of the cupcake, near one ear. To make the bow, create to small circles and join them together by piping a smaller circle in the middle.

For Hello Kitty’s whiskers, use black frosting and pipe in three short whiskers on both sides of the cupcake. Use the black frosting for the eyes and a yellow colored one for the nose.

Hostess Cupcake Groom’s Cake

What is with me and chocolate lately? Wait. Could there BE a dumber question?  Eh.  It is what it is.  And…what it is…is another chocolate cake from Brooke.

But look at it, will ya?  Like I could resist!  It’s a giant Hostess cupcake, perched upon the top of what we suspect is the groom’s cake for a lovely summer celebration.  And it’s perfectly executed and instantly recognizable.

Okay, so…confession.  I was never really allowed to have these as a kid, and I wouldn’t let my children touch Hostess products with a ten-foot pole, so they would have no idea what this is (other than a yummy giant chocolate cupcake, and really, isn’t that enough?)  But to my generation, this is instantly recognizable and completely adorable.  Decadent in its size, comforting in its appearance.  And I guarantee, much more delicious than the original.  I wonder if it’s filled?  Surely!

This adorable cake was made by The Hudson Cakery.
