How to Make Wedding Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven according to cake mix instructions. Line a muffin tin with 24 white paper baking cups.
  2. Prepare your cake mix according to package directions. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  3. Bake cupcakes for the time specified on the cake mix box (approximately 18-22 minutes). Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are done.
  4. Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting.
  5. While cupcakes are cooling, prepare your frosting. If desired, tint the frosting with food coloring to match your handmade paper or ribbon.
  6. Once cupcakes are cool, frost them evenly.
  7. Cut out the center of 4-inch oilproof paper doilies. Carefully pull the doily ring up from the bottom of the cupcake, positioning it just below the frosting.
  8. Use a piping bag to add decorative frosting swirls or designs to your cupcakes.
  9. Prepare your handmade paper decorations. Attach ribbon to the paper liners using double-stick tape.
  10. Add string charms to the ribbon and secure them with hot glue or tape.
  11. Arrange your decorated cupcakes on a serving platter. Enjoy!
