Answer 1

I love the second one.  I may try it.

Answer 2

so cute! I really like the first one, but the second is very festive and patriotic! I admire your ambitions because it lookes like  a lot of work.

Answer 3

Here's a few I found!

Answer 4

Instead of decorating each cupcake individually, try the latest craze of putting many cupcakes together, then decorating as a whole piece of art.  For example: Bake enough cupcakes to fit inside a casserole dish.  Then section out the blue rectangle of the American flag, pipe that section blue, then pipe the stars on.  Even if the sections of the rectangle don't match the boundaries of the cupcakes, it would look cool.  Then pipe the red and white stripes onto the remaining cupcakes, so that it looks like the flag.  I think this would be an impressive design, and you wouldn't have to decorate each cupcake.

Answer 5

do you have the book from the first picture?

that picture is on the front and i think its called 'hello, cupcake'
