Follow these steps for a beautiful finish to your scrumptious cupcake treats.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Cupcakes
Icing
A butter knife or spatula
Colored sugar
Candy sprinkles
Chopped nuts
A pastry bag (optional)

Step 1: Allow cupcakes to cool

Allow freshly-baked cupcakes to cool to room temperature, about a half an hour. Remove the cupcakes from the pan, and place them on a level surface.

Step 2: Remove icing from the refrigerator and stir

Remove the icing from the refrigerator and stir it with a butter knife or a small spatula. The icing should be creamy, but still thick.

Tip: Let the icing sit at room temperature for five minutes if it is too stiff. But don't let it sit too long or it will melt.

Step 3: Scoop icing on the center of the cupcake

Scoop a dollop of icing onto the center of the top of the cupcake using the knife or spatula.

Step 4: Spread icing from the center out

Spread the icing in a circular pattern on the top of the cupcake, starting at the center and working out toward the edges.

Tip: Pipe the icing onto the top of the cupcakes using a pastry bag if you want a different look.

Step 5: Evenly cover the entire top of the cupcake

Continue to spread the icing in a circle until you have covered the entire top of the cupcake evenly with a layer of icing.

Step 6: Add additional decorations

Add decorations, such as colored sugar, sprinkles, and chopped nuts.
