Scoop the soap frosting mixture into your piping bag. I like to place the mixing bag into a cup to make this step a little easier.

Tip: For a larger frosted top, start by placing some of the soap frosting in the very center of the cupcake. Then pipe the remaining on the soap cupcake.
Add sprinkles or biodegradable glitter on the top. (Optional)
Place the embed on the top of the cupcake. You will want to push down on it a little bit to ensure it stays put.
