Sweet strawberry: Dip whole strawberries in melted white, milk or dark chocolate. Dip in Jazzie sprinkles or coconut flakes while the chocolate is still warm, or create swirly patterns by drizzling the chocolate over the fruit.
Lemon and berry: Add a blob of lemon curd to the cupcakes, then top with halved strawberries, blueberries or raspberries.
Pistachio caramel: Melt sugar until it forms into a deep golden caramel, then pour over greaseproof paper covered with chopped pistachios. Finish with some flaky sea salt, then leave to set before smashing into shards and using to top the cupcakes.
Chocolate bark: Melt white chocolate and pour over a tray lined with greaseproof paper to make the chocolate bark. Add Jazzie sprinkles, crumbled meringue or melted dark chocolate. Leave to set, then roughly chop and place on top of the cupcakes.
