How to decorate muffins?

1. Sweets

Other great candies for decorating include M&Ms, Jelly Beans, or pieces of larger chocolate bars.

2. Flags and labels

Customize your own labels for a special event.

3. Chocolate drawings

Melt some chocolate. Draw your images directly onto a piece of wax paper and then let the chocolate harden. When the chocolate has set, gently peel the pictures from the wax paper and press them into the cream on the muffins.

4. Fresh fruit

Use any fruit you like. For effect, use the fruit that is part of the recipe, if you are making muffins with apples and cinnamon, decorate them with a slice of apple. Do you bake lemon? Garnish them with a slice of citrus!

5. Ganache

To make a simple chocolate ganache, bring 30ml of milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add 120g of chocolate. For a minty flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract as well. Stir the mixture until all the chocolate has dissolved in the milk and you are left with a smooth, glossy sauce. Let it cool on the line for a few minutes to thicken.

You can dip the tops of the cupcakes directly into the bowl with the ganache, or you can pour the sauce over them.
