1
First off, bake your cupcakes and prepare your buttercream.
2
Next, separate your fondant into three and dye each a cute colour with food colouring.
3
Add the different colours of fondant together and roll out.
4
Once rolled out, cut 7cm wide discs into the fondant with a cookie cutter. Then use a fondant stamp to add a fun text of your choice.
5
Add a little water to your fondant disc using a damp brush and let sit for a minute. Decorate the damp areas with sprinkles. Set aside to top your cupcakes later.
6
Next, prepare the cocktail infusion/liquid you would like to insert into the cupcakes.
7
Cut the tip of the plastic dessert pipette, squeeze and insert the tip into your infusion. Stop squeezing and the pipette will fill with the liquid. Set these aside for decoration later.
8
Then prepare three bowls with buttercream. Give them a good stir and add a food colouring of your choice to each. Mix thoroughly until the colour is evenly distributed and all air bubbles are gone.
9
Next, prepare three piping bags with piping tips 6B, 1M and 2D. Fill the piping bags with your colourful buttercream.
10
Start piping your cupcakes as you like, insert the pipette and decorate with sprinkles, edible sugar flowers and your fun fondant discs.

…and your beautiful cupcake is finished. Time to party!
