Mardi Gras Goodies

I know I'm a day late with this one, but with Fat Tuesday being...well, a Tuesday...life seems to get in the way. Next year maybe I'll get my act together a little earlier and come up with some sort of King Cake in cupcake form, but for now some festive decorations are as good as it gets. Luckily the vibrant colors of Mardi Gras make even the simplest toppings sparkle.


I found a bag of sour Skittles that came in the perfect shades of green and purple and then we added some simple fondant masks. A dusting of gold shimmer powder gave them the hint of glitz they needed. A few gold sprinkles later and it was officially a party!


Luckily these decorations will fit whatever flavor cupcake you want to make. We used a basic chocolate recipe just for simplicity, but pick your favorite and dress it up for the masquerade!
