For kids and adults.

Maybe some coconut.

Nothing fancy shmancy or will melt in the heat outside.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

buy those colored cake decorating gels and icings and make cute little flowers, butterflies, bees, birds , sun and other spring like things on them...you can add coconut as well

Answer 3

Make designs out of different candies (sprinkles, skittles, m and ms). You can make smiley faces, sunshines, flowers for the kids and then make pretty designs for the adults. Use bright, fun colors, and pretty icing, too.  Oh and for the kids you can put a little plastic trinket on top of the icing, too (rings, etc.)

Answer 4

You need some type of frosting to hold anything else on top (like coconut or sprinkles) .... so put a light layer of storebought frosting on top, with an oreo stuck on.  Then use the storebought, squirt can frosting (with the tips) to pipe white leaves on for a daisy.  You can put a dab of frosting on to hold a red M&M, for a ladybug.    Storebought frosting will harden up pretty quickly, and doesn't melt that fast.....

Answer 5

If you're going to use coconut, try this...get food coloring, and put shredded coconut into four separate plastic baggies.  Put a few drops of each color in the bags.   One bag....one color and shake.  You frost the cupcakes in white, and top with the pretty tinted coconut.

Answer 6

use small candy, m&m's, skittles,  cut up cherry licorice , nuts,  add food coloring for colored coconut, cut toasted or colored  marshmallos in half, or  put butterscotch , or chocolate morsels.

Answer 7

if it's going to be a kid's party, you could let them decorate their own. have toppings like sprinkles and stuff there for them to use.

if not, do something like this:

of course, not with the eggs, maybe put a little decoration toy on it like a little ladybug or something. all you would have to do is dye the coconut green.

Answer 8

you can do the same thing october said but with just plain sugar in baggies with some food coloring.
