This tutorial's cupcakes are blue but you can make yours any color. -
Step 2: Decorate the cupcakes.
Use store-bought or homemade frosting, as preferred.
Dip your cupcake in the frosting, turning it so it comes out with a tiny point at the top.
Dip it the exact same way in a shallow bowl of sprinkles.
Be modest with the amount of sprinkles added, to create a cleaner look.

If you prefer, pipe the icing onto the cupcakes rather than dipping them. , The water will work as an adhesive for the sprinkles.
Do this on both sides. , As you can see here, different colors have been added to each end of the marshmallow for the best effect. ,, Slide on the cupcakes, fruit pieces and marshmallows in any order you choose.
