Happy times with kids call for cheerful cupcakes. Easier to serve than cake, cupcakes require no slicing, no plates, and no forks -- and every child gets her fair share of icing.
The designs on this page start as Chocolate Cupcakes or Vanilla Cupcakes iced with Swiss Meringue Buttercream -- perfect for spreading in thin layers or sculpting into thick mounds (and licking from the bowl).
The cupcakes can be baked a week ahead and frozen, but decorate them no more than a day before serving. Set up an assembly line, and put kids in charge of affixing candy eyes, gumdrop cheeks, and other trimmings. Pack the cupcakes in a shallow plastic container, and stuff crumpled waxed paper in between. Then dole them out and watch kids marvel for a second before opening wide!
Lollipop Flower How-To
In May, the lollipops are in bloom. Mound vanilla icing high, and cover in sprinkles. Snip leaves from taffy tape.
Where do you buy taffy tape?

this was a big hit for my daughter and her friends.
have been asked to create this for a girls birthday party...seems easy enough, but not alot of direction on the tips to use or techniques for evening out the icing under the sprinkles and such.

Those cupcakes make small kids' faces shine. They are easy to make and taste delicious.
"Lollipop" is another word for "sucker." They should be added to the cupcake when cooled and frosted.
I think she mixed up lollipop with popsicle :)
I don't get how a lollipop would melt?! These are adorable and I think they would be cute to make.
How would the lollipops melt? Don't you add those after you have frosted them
It was messy and be sure to put the lollipops in at the last minute or they will melt all over the cakes. I would not make this again.
