Help – I need a pretty dessert!

When your dessert needs a lift, here is is quick trick.

What you need:

• Store bought two-bit brownies

• A can Duncan Hines frosting,

• Pack of YouCake cookie toppers – 1.87 inch rounds.

You can order a pack of toppers at YouCake – they keep sealed for several months. We include a zip lock bag if you want to hang on to any extras for a quick dessert lift later. Kids photos, old photos, and a few ideas featured below are fun to have. I like the Duncan Hines brand when you don’t have time to make your own – (and it also freezes well with the topper).

Frost brownies, apply the edible toppers, let the toppers rest on the dessert un-refrigereated for 45-60 minutes, then it is ready to serve. Watch the video:

Yummy Easter Cupcakes Recipes with Edible Toppers

Yummy Easter Cupcakes Recipe with Edible Toppers

What could be better for Easter then homemade Carrot Cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. To make them festive and seasonal, decorate with the YouCake Easter Toppers. Toppers are edible images that apply to any frosted cake, cookie or cupcake. Here is the before and after.

The fist step is to find a yummy recipe for carrot cake cupcakes and cream cheese frosting. I used this recipe from Real Simple magazine. The only change I made was that I added some Bourbon soaked raisons and used a little less of the brown sugar.

The fun thing about carrot cake is that with all the carrots, topped with cream cheese, you can justify this cupcake as a breakfast treat : )

Now to decorate…once you make cupcakes and cream cheese frosting, give each cupcake a squirt of frosting. Remove the toppers from their sealed bag. Remove the wax paper backing they come with and press them flat on the cupcake. Make sure your hands are dry when you handle the edible images.

Just make sure that the topper is flat. Then, if you like, add some sprinkles.

Let the toppers set for 30 minutes, then eat. The toppers are 100% edible – extra pretty and fun frosting.

For those who like to prepare ahead. Cupcakes with the YouCake edible toppers freeze perfectly. De-thaw your frozen cupcake in the refrigerator. When de-thawing, remove the lid or cover of the container that they are being stored in to prevent any condensation that may drip onto the top of the cupcake.

Valentine’s Dessert Decorations, Edible Love Notes for the ones you Love!

Posted on January 6, 2015 by Carolyn Hamilton Posted in Articles, Blog Entries, Seasonal Offers, Uncategorized

Valentine’s Dessert Decorations, Edible Love Notes for the ones you Love!

This is a lovely holiday, Valentine’s Day. A day to share your love, with notes, and some sweet love bites. A little wiki history

The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). In Europe, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children, in order to ward off Saint Valentine’s Malady.[6] Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.

Keys, hearts, doves, Cupid…images and sentiments of courtly love with sweet confections makes this a popular holiday around the world. How sweet you’ll be if you adorn your Valentine’s Day treats with edible images expressing your affections. How about modernized expressions? Try out some emojicons on cupcakes or cookies…how many ways to say “I love you”!

Share your self-expression and make your own sweet decorations or ask us for ideas.

Here are some heart expressions by bakers, chocolate-makers, caterers and party creators…enjoy!

Decorating Desserts for the holidays with YouCake

Holiday Dessert Topping Recipe:

Take two bite size brownies, cupcakes, cakes, or cookies

Add royal, vanilla or butter cream frosting or melt white chocolate

Apply your YouCake custom or seasonal topper

Let set or dry and serve a one-of -kind treat that shares your sentiments!

Make your own custom topper: Customize your edible frosting sheet

Purchase a season pack of Thanks Giving toppers, options below, send us an email with your preference and shipping info:

1.5 inch circles – perfect for mini cupcake and two-bite desserts ~ Pack of 36 (qty) toppers $15
2.1 inch circles – perfect for standard size cupcakes or cookies ~ Pack of 24 (qty) toppers $17
1 inch circle – cake pops or tiny treats ~ Pack of 108 (qty) toppers $21

Top tip on how we decorated these brownies:
We took a bag of Wilton white chocolate candy melts. A full proof double-boiler method is to put one inch of water in a pan with a bowl placed on top (water must not touch the top of the double boiler). When the water boils, turn off the burner and take the pot off the heat source. Add, a tsp of vegetable oil to one bag of melts as indicated on the package, add the candy melts and just keep stirring until all the melts are dissolved.

Then, we spooned the melted white chocolate over the dessert. With dry hands, removed the backing of the edible frosting sheet and place on the melted chocolate. Pat flat to remove any air bubbles and make the topper flush with the chocolate – the pinky finger seems to have the perfect pressure for this technique.

Let dry and it is ready to serve.

Have a great holiday!
