- Switch to the light brown frosting in another piping bag. Pipe the light brown frosting all over the cupcake, creating the hedgehog's fur. You can use a grass tip nozzle for a textured effect, or simply pipe small lines close together.
- Take the dark chocolate frosting piping bag and pipe two small dots for the eyes and a slightly larger dot for the nose, creating the hedgehog's facial features.
- If desired, gently press small sugar decoration eyes onto the dark chocolate frosting for added cuteness.
- Sprinkle the hedgehog's fur lightly with gold edible glitter, adding a touch of magic.
