How much detail?

Frosting curves are open, while paper cases, sprinkles, fruit seeds and ribbon edges create finer spaces. About the labels.

Choose one frosting color for every other cupcake. Use the toppings to introduce two brighter accents.

A small coloring tip

Use a fine pencil tip on the paper cases and toppings, then gentle layers across the frosting.

Give the empty part of the tray a tiny decorative pattern of your own.
