fancy cupcake decoration

One thing that I've seen before that is really pretty is taking stencils and stenciling powdered sugar onto the tops of cupcakes. I think it would look even better with the silver coated nonpareils if you are looking for something fancy.

look at www.marthastewart.com/cupcakes-recipes She has some great ideas on there. I've made the lion and tiger ones, they look really difficult, but they are actually pretty easy. If you're not quite up to that challenge, wwww.familyfun.com has some great ideas under their recipes section. Good luck!
