Hey Everyone! I'm going to share with you one of my greatest baking feats, Disney Princess cupcakes! Many girls absolutely love and idolize the Disney Princesses, so this decorating idea is a win-win for everyone! This decorating idea will definitely take some time, but the end result is worth it. So first, what you will need to do is make your cupcakes, color doesn't matter. While your cupcakes are baking, you can go online to: https://www.google.com/search?q=disney+princess+cupcake+toppers&biw=1920&bih=985&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiPjOOwjJHLAhUKFT4KHc8XBH4Q_AUIBygC#imgrc=pog5iiNyps0bvM%3A This should take you to an image with images of the princesses from the waist up. If it doesn't work, Pinterest has many other ways to obtain this image. Or, if you are proactive, you probably already ordered the cupcake toppers from Party City or something, but it is fun to attempt them yourself. After printing out the images, you'll want to cut them out, leaving a place to attach the toothpick. After this is done, you can laminate them, and cut them out again. This is time-consuming, but the toppers would be re-usable and there is no way the ink would run, if wet. Next, you'll want to attach toothpick to the toppers (I just used scotch tape because I was in a pinch, and it worked great). After the cupcakes have cooled, you'll want to start your frosting. For those in a time crunch, Pillsbury Whipped Vanilla canned frosting works great, that is what I used. For those with a little time on your hands, I would suggest a stiff buttercream frosting that would help hold the topper in place. Depending on which princesses you're doing, you'll have to color the frosting accordingly. For perfect color match, I would highly suggest using Wilton Color Right Performance System. You can get it here:  http://www.walmart.com/ip/45453879?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227032949560&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=66579638432&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=130447662032&veh=sem
 I've had great luck with it so far. After creating the color desired, pipe the frosting using Wilton decorating tip: 2D http://www.wilton.com/no-2d-drop-flower-decorating-tip/418-2004.html#q=decorating+tips&prefn1=contentType&prefv1=shop&start=17 
After you've done that, insert the toppers and decorate as desired (I used edible flowers for Rapunzel's dress and a tiny bit of colored sugar for a little contrast on the dresses). I hope you found this idea inspiring and creative! Give it a shot! Let me know how it goes!
