Mardi Gras is celebrated prior to fasting, or Lent, so it's the perfect time to bake some scrumptious cupcakes before going on a proverbial diet! Because of this, there are many things you could do with Mardi Gras cupcakes, the choice is literally limitless. Using your imagination will play a big part in baking Mardi Gras cupcakes, so don't hold back on your ideas and try out everything you have before deciding what you're going to with. It may be that you're having a specifically themed party, so if you want, it might be a good idea to take into account colors and motifs from your party supplies that you could also use on your cupcakes.
Mardi Gras is a huge, vibrant, colorful festival celebrated all over America, so bear this in mind when you're making and designing your cupcakes too. Vibrant reds, greens, blues, oranges, pinks, purples – in fact, any vibrant color is fine, as long as it stands out and can be noticed, because that's the idea of Mardi Gras! It might be an idea to add food coloring to your cupcake mix so that your cupcakes are one color and your icing is another. Or you could make your cupcakes a multitude of colors, along with your icing, to make them look really spectacular and eye-catching.
There's no room for subtlety at Mardi Gras, and it's important to remember this when you're making your cupcakes. You don't want your cupcakes to get lost in a sea of color, so make sure they stand out from the crowd.
You could also use big decorations on your Mardi Gras cupcakes, like stars, flags, rainbows, colorful birds, just about anything that has a great amount of color. You could make them different flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla, orange, strawberry, and you could even go more exotic with flavors like lime, peach, pineapple, grapefruit or banana. The list goes on and on, and you should take full advantage of this amount of decorating freedom!
