    Cute and Easy Frosting-Free Cupcake Decorations

    Send a message using cupcakes!  We did this for Father's Day and my husband's birthday. I also use this method to decorate the boys' birthday cupcakes with their ages.

    How to write a cupcake message without frosting.

    I loathe dealing with frosting but that doesn't mean you can't make your cupcakes super cute! For the stenciling you see below we used plastic letters but you can also cut your own shapes from card stock. We used Kiddo's letters and a paper heart as inside out stencils for powdered sugar to relay a very important message.

    I'll let the photos speak for themselves!


    Super cute, right?

      LOVE this! Perfect timing because I just made a cake for my husband today (we're trying to do something fun for him each day this week) and after I saw your post I tried it out on our cake. Worked perfectly!!!
