Candy Cane Cupcake Tips

Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
If you dont want to use Cool Whip Whipped Topping, use white or chocolate frosting instead.
An easy way to crush candy canes is to place them into a plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin.
The best way to tell if a cupcake is done is to insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake and if it comes out clean the cupcake is done.
For more decorative cupcakes, top each cupcake with a miniture candy cane.
