TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
We tested 5 different muffin liners and it seemed that the firmer, thicker liners made rounder cupcakes and the thinner ones had flatter cupcakes.
Depending on what you are decorating you might want a certain shape.
We found red hots at Target which has a candy center where you just mix and match what candies you want to buy.
Licorice strings are hard to find but make great whiskers.
If you want finer coconut, or have a few long pieces, chop in a small food choppper or processor.
If you are doing this activity with young children, then make the ears ahead of time.
