Christmas Tree Cupcake Mosaic

 

In this lab we baked really simple mini white cupcakes, popped them in the freezer and iced them the next class. I created this cupcake art with two other talented food artists; Sophia and Natalie. We decided to go with a cute Christmas tree design along with two presents. We iced the cupcakes with a basic royal icing coloured with gel icing colors.

 

    It was really fun experimenting with all the different icing tips. After working with all of the tips, I discovered that my favourite icing tip to work with is #191 from my icing kit. This icing tip gives an amazing flower effect which is absolutely beautiful. I found that the cupcake was very sweet by itself and the icing just made the sweetness almost unbearable.

  This is a photo of a cupcake decorated with the #191 icing tip. Overall, I think that the idea of a cupcake mosaic is really interesting and the use of different icing tips gives the whole image a really unique look.
