Mermaids Cupcake Set
The set includes 24 sturdy baking cases made from quality paper with a protective metallic foil layer, plus the same number of double-sided picks that are ready to use straight away. The figures are securely attached to natural bamboo sticks, so there's no cutting, folding, or gluing onto cocktail sticks required. Just unbox and start decorating.
The pastel colours and playful mermaid shapes will catch the eye of every little guest. In just a few minutes, you can turn an ordinary dessert into the star of the dessert table. And since decorating with bamboo picks is so quick and easy, you can happily get the kids involved and let them get creative at their own party.
If you want to really nail the look and tie it all together, colour your frosting a blue or purple shade with gel colouring and sprinkle on some matching decorations. For the best effect, pipe the frosting into a tall swirl and push the pick into the very top.
Inside the pack, you'll find adorable underwater designs in a pastel, illustrated style – mermaids with pink and turquoise tails, a purple-and-pink seahorse, and a cheerful fish with turquoise scales. The cases match the whole set in a purple-and-blue design with a subtle polka-dot pattern reminiscent of bubbles, so your cupcakes will look like a sweet trip beneath the waves.
PME is a British brand that has been making baking supplies since 1956 and is one of the leading manufacturers in the industry. With paper cases, this shows in two key ways – in the strength of the walls, which won't collapse in the oven, and in the layer of metallic foil, which cheaper cases simply don't have. That's exactly why they cost a bit more than a pack from the supermarket, and exactly why they stay looking good all afternoon.
For a nice shape, place the paper cases into a standard metal or silicone cupcake tin before filling – the metallic foil and paper will hold their volume so the batter doesn't spread out under its own weight. Fill them about two-thirds full, so you've got plenty of room on top for a generous layer of frosting. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely on a rack, add the frosting swirl. Add the bamboo picks last, just before carrying the desserts to the table.
Note: the picks aren’t edible and shouldn’t go in the oven – add them only to the finished, cooled dessert.
