Decorating Cupcakes and Cakes: Kitchen Tip

An easy way to add a little decoration to cakes and cupcakes is to use cookie cutters.

Place the cookie cutter on top of the cake after it is frosted, then add sprinkles, coconut, or whatever you can think of that would be pretty, inside the cookie cutter.

I decorated these cupcakes rather quickly, but you get the idea.  I used leftover Christmas sprinkles.
