I love edible glitter and as our lovely Queen's jubilee is coming up it would have to be as a Royal Crown

As I live in the countryside I would do woodland animals like foxs, badgers and rabbits and have them on a cake stand decorated as a tree stump and make icing leaves to lay on the table around the tree.

I would do each one with a different piece of a garden, so that when placed next to each other it makes a lovely big tasty garden.

I would decorate a cupcake as a single primrose, I would then decorate a lot of cupcakes as primroses and lay they on a field of green to brighten everything up, especially as it's so grey and dank around here at the moment

I'd like to bake a set of cupcakes with an Alice in Wonderland theme, doing a cake representing each character/important part of the story. I'd have them set up on a spiral cake stand, going up in order of how the story pans out, with Alice following the White Rabbit at the bottom, leading right up to her waking up in her garden

Along the way I'd have key things like the Mad Hatters Tea Party, with cute little teapot decorations made from icing, etc ^^

I would have to decorate it in a way to either celebrate the Queens silver jubilee or the 2012 Olympics

I'd love to decorate some cakes in a cute dinosaur theme so that I could maybe use lots of bright colours! And will be on the look out for inspiration soon for my friends boys birthday!

I would decorate my cakes with a moomin valley theme, a cake for each character and display them in a blue moomin house cake stand!

I'd love to make some cupcakes to look like all my friends! The same sort of structure of the penguin cupcakes here on cutoutandkeep. That way, we could bite each other's heads off!

I'd love to decorate a cupcake, as a teacup!! And put a couple of buscuits at the side of it... It would be so cute

A skull would be my decoration...my little girls love skulls so I would have no choice in the matter!

Rachael P. · London, GB 7th April 2012

I'm new to baking and have just recently been given a piping kit to decorate cupcakes with!

My aspiration would be to make a rainbow cupcake, with fluffy 'cloud' icing, a tangy rainbow sweet strip, and a prancing 'unicorn' (if I had mad skills I would make it out of marzipan, but it would probably end up being a white horse with a paper cone attached to his head!) <3

I'd decorate a cupcake to look like an anatomically correct heart, for halloween and for valentines day, with lots of fake blood. I would do it just to spook people when they first saw them.

I would love to decorate a cupcake as little la la la land. I was thinking of a tree with candy in it and a swing on the three. And at the swing there would be a little girl sitting.
