The following steps explain how to prepare a creative cupcake bar:

Custom toppings: The best part of the cupcake decorating is the toppings! To customize your cupcake decorations, use personalized chocolate candies. With My M&M’s, you can customize the candies with birthday icons, the guest of honors image, and a creative message. With these customized candies, decorating will be even more fun for guests!

Variety of flavors: Provide baked cupcakes in an assortment of flavors so that everyone can find something they like. Make sure to bake the cupcakes hours in advance so that they are easy to decorate once cooled. Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, strawberry, and peanut butter are just some flavor ideas to get you started!

Frosting in themed colors: Connect the activity to the party theme and provide icing in the party’s colors. Pick bright, fun colors that will perfectly match with the decorations and invitations. Provide multiple colors to give guests extra options. Get creative with it!

Fun packaging: Provide a personalized box or bag for guests to bring home extra cupcakes. Design the packaging to match the theme with specialized colors and labels. Brown paper gift boxes or plastic containers will keep the cupcakes safe when they’re brought home.
