How Very En-Ticing

So when I came across this website called Ticings I dropped everything, wrote them an email, and begged them to send me some product.  As a wanna be baker and cupcake eater extraordinaire I knew my life would not be complete until I had some.

I was right.

These things rock!

They send you your choice of design on non-stick paper and you just peel off and attach to your cupcake!

Directions here.

 

These say:

Ooh lala!

Duty Calls

Better Than Therapy

Surrender

Bite Me

And there are lots more to choose from on their site.  The Easter ones are SO cute!!

Now.. I am not the quickest study, but after a while I was able to kind of figure things out.

I iced a cupcake with rich homemade buttercream frosting with a hint of almond.  My favorite.

I added one more ring of frosting around the edge...

When I added the extra ring around, I was then able to place the ticing on top and have a nice smooth finish.

When I did not place the extra ring of frosting, I could not get a flat finish like I wanted.

But dont stop there!  The creators of Ticings recommend trying out different piping techniques around the edges... which I did and actually had a lot of fun at!  I got to sample out some of those tips in my Wilton kit that I have never used before.

I just adore this one.  The beautiful colors with the graphic design all on top of a the best tasting cupcake ever... you really cant go wrong!

Would these not be perfect for a birthday?  Or a bridal shower?  Or a wedding??  Oh the possibilities!!

*oh yeah... just thought I'd tell ya, I did not get paid to say this.

Sooo cute! I love love the last one, too. Just beautiful.

[meaghan (chic cookies)]

Oh my gosh, they contacted me and sent me some too! I love them... (I used them on cookies--of course--and they worked beautifully)

[Renee]

Those are pretty. We used things like that but larger on cakes when I worked in a bakery. I think I would rather have art from the decorator on it than pre-made art. Since I KNOW you are awesome at decorating. But those are great products for when you are pressed for time.

[Kate]

Very pretty!! Almost too pretty to eat. (Not I said ALMOST because I'd eat 'em!)

I think you should send some of those yummy cupcakes to your favourite Canadan blogger. What was her name...hm...oh yes...KATE B!

[natalie]

[Natalie]

Thanks for sharing, these are great!

[Janet]

You are such an Angel! I've been lying awake at night trying to think of a way I might accomplish the 300 cookies I'm creating for Aveda using photo-cookie icing sheets (how to ice to keep them smooth, what to do for around the edges, etc.) and here you've just shown me so many great ways to get it done. Thank YOU!

[Alex]

I want some. Cupcakes are not my forte but can you imagine all of the possibilities with these babies? Oh boy. I think I'm going crazy. But in a good way!

[Laci]

would you share the buttercream recipe? always love trying new ones......love the ticings! super cute

[grace]

how adorable--i've not seen cupcakes decorated like that before. and aren't you a clever little thing, figuring out that a simple ring around the (rosy?) edge would solve all your problems. nicely done, amanda!

[bridget {bake at 350}]

These are so pretty; you make everything look pretty! I love your piping along the edges!!! I think the blue one if my favorite, but I really like the ones with the words, too. So fun!!!

[Anh]

These are so beautiful! Love love the idea. Now I am gonna beg the producer to send some to Australia!

[flamingcat]

Oh, man. So cute, and yet so problematic - I could never eat anything that cute!

Well... at least not until after at least a good half hour of squealing or so...

[Amalia Standard]

MMmmmm and soooo beautiful! Thanks for sharing!! By the way...your homemade buttercream frosting looks amazing! I would love to try the recipe on some birthday cupcakes!!!!

[Kristi]
