okay, so i'm trying to m2m cupcake cutie clippies, & i have my cupcake base, but i'm stumped as to what to do for icing. i was trying to do something with korkers, but it's not really turning out well. Any ideas??

Did you try lining fabric or felt behind the korkers?
I've seen that done on here I think

There is a thread ( a couple actually) that explain different ways to do this. Just search for cupcake or icing, then you'll find them!

okay, here it is finished with my gymbo listing. hopefully it LOOKS like a cupcake. i kind of wish i had used a different color for the base. thanks for your suggestions.

I think it is cute style-wise. I'd change the colors, but I like the overall look

The easiest way to make a cupcake clips base is to simply draw the shape and cut it out with ribbon.

what I do is just take a piece of 1.5" brown ribbon about 4 inches long.
Next I take some fabri-tac and place the glue on one side on the ribbon.
Then I fold over the ribbon and glue the two sides together so that the base
will be thicker to support the cupcake top. Then I just cut out the shape and heat seal the edges.

here is a sample
