I ran across this amazing product while searching for party ideas for the K man's 2nd birthday, which is in 6 months! I know - what can I say, I'm a planner. Really, I'm totally indisicive so I need to give myself plenty of time to figure things out, but that's a topic for an entirely different post!
This amazing company is called ticings. They create decorative edible icing sheets that you can pop right onto cupcakes, layer cakes or even brownies. It’s as simple as peel and press and voila! You have a completely professional looking baked good created in your own home. ticings has a fantastic set of designs that you can use for almost every occasion from weddings (yes weddings!) to birthday parties. You can even send ticings an image and they can create a custom edible icing sheet for you. Hello? Is this not amazing or what??
I tried two sizes. The mini circles in "Red Bouquet" and the standard circles in "Two Birds". I did something a little different with mine, as I used the mini circles on a standard size cupcake. I liked the way the image looked with all the icing around it. I also piled my icing high on the cupcake and then flattened that out verses cutting the top off of the cupcake to make it flat. You truly do have to make the icing as flat as possible before you apply the ticings to your cupcakes, otherwise you get a lumpy edge and it's just not as nice. I did that..,so, I had to eat that one...or two.
Just in case you are wondering, there is no taste or texture to the ticings once they are on the cupcake. All you taste is the frosting. I think these came out pretty good - I mean, I'm no Martha Stewart, but I have to say these look pretty sweet!
So, I thought these would be a great idea for Mother's Day, and you know what? The fabulous people at ticings agreed with me and decided to let one lucky winner try them out for free! But hurry - this giveaway is only open until April 30th so you can get your ticings in time to bake mom some yummy and beautiful deserts!
