Some times the easiest, fastest way to decorate a cupcake is to use a pick or a non edible topper… there are amazing stuff out there, say Etsy, Ebay or just your local $1 store… like these cute flamingo picks I found while roaming around a $1 store with a nice party supplies section.

I just used some buttercream with green colouring, some blue (or white) fondant for the lake (I had some leftovers but if not you can just use blue buttercream too) and the flamingo picks.. easy peasy! (do you write “peasy” like that?!?)

If you put the picks facing each other it can be a cute simple idea for a Valentine cupcake…
