Topsy Turvy Mardi Gras Cupcakes

Will you be celebrating Mardi Gras on Fat Tuesday next week? Even if you aren’t, it’s always fun to create some Mardi Gras Cupcakes! Right? Last year, I shared King Cake Cupcakes and also Mardi Gras Cupcakes with printables.

So this year, I wanted to change it up a bit, and was inspired when I saw Topsy Turvy Cupcakes over at Bakingdom. I think these would also be great for a birthday party! You could really change the color of frosting and share them for any celebration!

Topsy Turvy Cakes are often served at Mardi Gras Parties, with the different sized layers being placed crooked. I started with a mini cupcake and added Rolo and mini Peanut Butter Cup candies to the top.

Keeping the colors traditional for Mardi Gras, I colored the frosting purple, green and yellow. And added colorful sprinkles in two different shapes and sizes.
