Graduation Cupcakes!


Over the weekend, the GA's had a joint graduation party. It was pot luck style, so I brought over 3 variations of appetizer deli rolls (forgot to photograph...but will definitely make again) and these cupcakes! I used my favorite red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting recipes, and topped them with these little graduation candy hats, as seen on Bakerella! I used corn syrup to press on the Twizzlers and cinnamon candies, but they were a little runny. Next time I'd just make some red Royal icing. I used Red Velvet because IU's colors are Cream and Crimson, but you can definitely personalize these to any school colors!
They were a huge hit, if you have any graduations coming up, I'd definitely make these!
