Cupcake Kabobs

For quite some time I have been wanting to make cupcake kabobs and today I finally took the plunge.  The strawberries really helped to stabilize the cupcakes, some of which wanted to slide down the skewer.  I tried a smaller 6" skewer at first but the cupcakes kept sliding down the stick.  I found the way to prevent sliding on the smaller skewer is to soften candy melts and pipe a small dot below each cupcake.  Let it harden for a few minutes.  It takes a little extra time but this will keep your cupcakes in place.  The strawberries were very stable on the stick - not sure how a raspberry would work.  Overall, my first cupcake kabob experience was a good one!
