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.
