I passion mini desserts. It's much easier to make and freeze in bulk to have on hand. In my opinion, one of the biggest ways to "accoutre up" a cupcake (minis especially) is your foil. Then just do something simple on top. Here's some good sites for award ideas:
Ideas to use: shedded coconut, shredded chocolate/light-skinned chocolate, edible glitter, edible silber balls, fondant icing cut into shapes, colored sugars, mini candies.
(you can get edible glitter here: http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/flowers/glitter.htm) Good good break!

How about making these? Form them in cupcake liners...but different!
PETITE CHEESECAKES

3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon lemon force
1 teaspoon vanilla
24 vanilla wafers
1 can (1 pound, 5 ounces) cherry (or blueberry) pie components
Beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon juice & vanilla until light and wispy. Line regular muffin pans with cupcake papers (or the foil ones are really pretty); remember a vanilla wafer in each and fill 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture.

Makes about 2 dozen
As for the cake thing...have you seen the birthday "cakes" that they are making with cupcakes grouped together, as if they were by the skin of one's teeth one large cake? So cute & easy to serve???? They have them at my local grocery store, but here's the only bond I could find that will give you somewhat of an idea what they can do???

I recollect that applesauce can be used in box cupcake recipes to replace something, oil or eggs. Which is it? Also, can the same thing be done with every cake recipe, or just box recipes like Duncan Hines?
It can be substituted in every bar/ cupcake/ muffin recipe. It replaces the oil or butter or shortening. Use an equal amount. You really can’t tell the difference when you make restitution for oil or shortening. You taste it a little bit when you replace the butter, because that butter flavor won’t be there. I substitute applesauce all the notwithstanding.
