i have made cupcakes for my mums bday and not sure how i want to decorate them. they are carrot cakes, and i have ingredients for cream cheese icing.

i am looking for inspiration for something to put on top.

Also, cakes are made today. can i ice today, or better to do it tomorrow? any tricks to make icing look pretty?

i have a few decoration things here, but will prob do a shop run. do lollies run/go soggy on cream cheese icing?

i am an amateur so happy to accept any pointers.
