Tips for Success:
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before piping on buttercream.
I used a 1M tip to achieve soft billowing ruffles of frosting deliciousness. 🙂
After you have frosted the cupcakes, place in freezer for at least 15 minutes.
I used a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the frosting. If you find your chocolate is too thick and doesn’t spill over, add 1/2 teaspoon more vegetable oil and mix thoroughly.
Add sprinkles to the chocolate immediately. (If you wait until the chocolate hardens, the sprinkles wont stick)
You can get the Strawberry Oil here. I have only found it at specialty stores and online.
Consider calling up a dentist and getting on an affiliate program. (These suckers are SWEET!)

As soon as I saw this I laughed because I used to work at a tiny little local grocery counter and I had a customer that always asked me for the “Napoleon” ice cream. If only he knew there were cupcakes, too!! These are gorgeous, Amanda.
Gorgeous cupcakes!
These are so pretty! I love the dark background to the photos and that pop of pink color. I bet they’re delicious as well. 🙂
So beautiful as usual.
Oh I love these! I bought some candy coloring and flavors a couple months ago and have yet to use them.
