Easy Edible White Chocolate Monograms

These easy to make edible monograms add just the right personal touch to cupcakes for a special celebration, in this instance, an engagement party. And, they are so very easy to make.

Create your monogram with your word processing program, filling a page with them. After printing the page, which will serve as your template, lightly tape it to the surface where you plan to pipe the monograms. Cover it with a piece of waxed paper, also lightly taping it to keep it from moving.

In the meantime, melt your choice of chocolate, according to package directions, and spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Simply pipe the monograms onto the waxed paper, following the template outline underneath. If you need more than one page of monograms, simply remove the first sheet of waxed paper with the piped monograms, and tape another sheet to the template.

When the chocolate has cooled and set, gently peel the monograms from the waxed paper and carefully place them on the iced cupcakes. If you like, you can pipe a small amount of extra chocolate at the bottom of the monogram. It will serve to hold the monogram in place, and you will not lose the bottom of your monogram into the icing.
