Take your cupcakes to the next level by adding an extra something special. Other cupcakes won’t have the same cupcake toppers yours do when you make your own chocolate cupcake toppers. These cupcake toppers are surprisingly easy to make yourself. Sure you decorate your cupcakes with paper cupcake toppers, edible sugar or special frosting, but why not make an edible topping instead?

{Cupcake Toppers Galore: Personalize Your Own!}

These cupcake toppers can be made into almost any shape you want. Try creating initials or numbers for birthday cupcakes. For a garden party, flowers are the perfect cupcake topper. There are so many different options, play around with your chocolate bag to personalize your cupcake.

Start by tempering your chocolate. For the real instructions and recipe, view the original recipe from Modern Mommy. She explains how to temper the chocolate without burning it. It’s important to cook the chocolate carefully or else you’ll have to toss the batch and start over. If you don’t temper your chocolate you risk losing the ‘snap’ that harden chocolate gives.

Fill a piping bag with the melted chocolate. The key is to pipe the chocolate before it cools. Snip the corner of the bag and pipe onto an aluminum foil cutting board. Make sure you have room in the fridge to set the chocolates and let them cool. Once they’ve hardened you can use them to decorate your favorite cupcake scenes! A few hearts might be the perfect accent for a Valentine’s Day or anniversary cupcake display. Combined with edible glitter and cupcake wrappers, these cupcakes are perfect for any special occasion.

You can easily create your own cupcake display for your wedding too! Why hire the expensive baker when you can make cupcakes, decorate with chocolate hearts and glitter cupcake wrappers and you’re good to go! This would be a fun activity to share with your bridal party a couple days before. Bake your cupcakes and pop open a bottle of bubbly instead of a loud bachelorette night out. Spend the night watching romantic comedies and decorating cupcakes with your bridal party girls. Would you consider making these cupcake toppers yourself for your wedding or would you rather hire a professional to do the work for you?
