Another option is to leave the bumps and use piped frosting to build up the sides of the cake to match the height of the center. Ready to Decorate Frost the sides of each cake with a color of your choice. White or pastel colored frosting show off the decorations on the sides of the cupcakes especially well. Decorate the cake's sides to resemble a teacup. For very young children, small candies pressed into the frosting will be easiest.
Older kids can handle tubes of decorating gel.
Press the two ends of the handle into the side of each cake. Create a ring of frosting around the top edge of the cupcake. If you don't have a piping tube, buy a tube of frosting, or make one from a plastic bag. Don't warm the sauce because it'll spill over. Place the cakes in the refrigerator for a half hour to set the caramel.
