Happy Friday! I really debated whether or not to share this cake decorating idea for lips pull-apart cupcakes because I thought it wasn’t my best work, but honestly, I’m tired of being so hard on myself. It’s one of my goals this year to give myself a break. So here we are! With Valentine’s Day coming up in less than a month, I wanted to share this easy cake decorating hack for using cupcakes to create this lips cupcake cake – AKA it looks like one large cake but it’s actually cupcakes! Pull-apart cupcakes are great for parties because they’re a bit easier to decorate and there’s no cutting required. No matter what kind of celebration you’re planning this Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day, these lips pull-apart cupcakes could be the perfect dessert to celebrate.

What’s your favorite cake recipe? It may seem boring, but I’m always up for classic vanilla. I used vanilla cake to make these lips pull-apart cupcakes using 20 standard cupcakes. Once you arrange your cupcakes, you spread the frosting all the way across as if it’s one big sheet. Have fun with the decorating here! Add sprinkles, blend shades of pink, etc. Is it perfect? No, but I hope you like it anyway. Below is the easy way to make a lip cupcake cake for your upcoming Valentine’s Day soiree.

Supplies:

  • 20 cupcakes of your favorite cake recipe (find classic vanilla here or chocolate here)
  • Large cake board or poster board, cut to size
  • Large batch of vanilla frosting
  • Pink food coloring
  • Pastry bag
  • Large flat piping tip
  • Angled spatula
  • Valentine’s Day sprinkles, optional

How to Make a Cupcake Cake Look like Lips

Step 1: Bake cupcakes according to your favorite recipe. You’ll need 20. Let them cool completely.

Step 2: Dye your frosting with food coloring until you reach your desired color. I went with a classic buttercream frosting and a bright pink color.

Step 3: To assemble into the lips pull-apart cupcakes, arrange cupcakes on a cake board as shown above. It’s similar to a diamond shape.

Step 4: Move the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large flat tip. Pipe the outside edges to create the lips shape, then fill in. Spread smooth with an angled spatula.

Step 5: Once smoothed, trace the outside edges again with frosting. Then across the middle to make the part in the lips.

Step 6: (optional) If desired, spread sprinkles across the part and around the edges.

That’s all it takes to make cute, easy-serve lips pull-apart cupcakes! I promise this will come together much faster than making a traditional layered cake. When you’re ready to serve, simply pull cupcakes from the edge!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
