Icing:

  1. Dip out some icing to use on the top of the cupcakes into a bowl. Add Royal Blue color gel and mix it together. Add just a touch of black food coloring gel to make it a smidge darker.
  2. Use a 1M decorating tip and a disposable piping bag and pipe the icing onto the cupcakes.

Guitars:

  1. Click the link to print out the guitars template. Tape it to a cookie sheet and cover with wax paper. Also tape the wax paper to the cookie sheet as well.
  2. Melt white candy melts according to the package. Put the melted candy in a disposable piping bag and snip the end.
  3. Trace the outline of the guitar and the circle in the middle. Do this for all of the guitars. Once the outlines have hardened, then flood the guitars. Shake the cookie sheet a bit to help it settle.
  4. Melt black candy melts according to the package. Once melted, add to a disposable piping bag and snip the end. Fill in the hole on the guitar.
  5. Place the cookie sheet of guitars in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until hardened.
  6. Being careful, remove the guitars from the wax paper to place on the cupcakes.
