Western Cowboy Hat Cupcakes
Another coworker of mine retired and in honor of her move to Nashville and love of country music we went with a western theme for her going away party. It has been awhile since I last posted some cupcakes up here on the blog and I just had to share these because they were a big hit at the office and super easy to make.

To start off, I baked some chocolate cupcakes and simply spread vanilla frosting over them. I was tempted to tint the frosting red or yellow and pipe a simple swirl, but I was afraid the cupcakes would be too tall to place in my cupcake carrier.

To make the hat: simply glue a spice gum drop with frosting onto the center of the chip. Pringles chips are the best because of their uniformity (and because they curve out like a hat.) I then used Twizzlers Pull N Peel and cut them into small pieces after measuring the gum drop. Some would not stay despite adding extra frosting to hold the Twizzler on to the chip and spice drop, so I would recommend using a small tip and piping around the spice drop. This way you are also not limited to just red.

Simple cupcakes to make for your next western party. I might recommend using sweet gum drops instead of spice ones for a better sweet and salty snack combo with the chips.

Thanks for reading and feel free to share your latest culinary confection in the comment section below.
