Decorating cupcakes is simple with fun cupcake decorating techniques from Wilton. Choose the right types of icing for decorated cupcakes, learn how to create delicious fillings and use a variety of candies and icing techniques for cupcake decorations.

For classic and simple cupcakes, mix Basic Vanilla Cake batter and divide among two lined 24-cup mini-muffin pans. Bake at 400 degrees F about 10 minutes. Cool and ice with Fluffy Butter Frosting. Top with red and blue sprinkles and mini American flags if you're feeling patriotic, or mix up the toppings to suit any season.

They say the best way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it - and once you see a beautiful delicious cupcake in front of you, you know that's exactly the case. Unlike a whole cake, these mini confectionaries don't even look as evil, and will always hit the spot.

I am sure everyone loves it: Standing in front of a cupcake shop and almost pressing your nose flat against the window because all you see are these beautiful frosted cupcakes and you ask yourself: Can I do that too? Of course you can!
