Instructions
Mini Cupcakes
- Mix your cake mix together according to box instructions
- Seperate the cake mix into 2 bowls.
- Dye one bowl pink, and the other bowl grey (using a little bit of the black food coloring)
- Fill a mini cupcake baking tin with the mini liners.
- Fill the liners 2/3 full.
- Bake cupcakes for 12-15 minutes.
Frosting
- Whip up 1 stick of butter with a stand/hand mixer.
- Add in your 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix on low until combined.
- Add in your 1 TBL of whipping cream or milk and your 1/2 TBL vanilla extract.
- Whip on high for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Separate your icing into two seperate bowls. Dye one bowl pink and the other bowl red. (Tip: use alot of red to make sure your frosting turns out red and not pink.)
- Equip your piping bags with your #21 piping tip.
- Fill one piping bag with the pink icing, and one piping bag with red icing.
- Start icing your cupcakes. Place a small dallop of icing in the center of the cupcake.
- Start icing the cupcake and pull the piing tip towards the center and up, creating hair just like Poppy and Barb.
- Contunue doing this until the icing is all around the cupcake.
- Repeat this recipe until all your cupcakes are iced.
- Optional: If you want to make Poppys teal headband and green flowers, repeat the process for making the butter cream frosting. Split the frosting into 2 bowls and dye one teal and the other green. Fit your piping bag with a Wilton #3 tip for both colors, and pipe out the crown, and flowers.
- Enjoy these cute mini cupcakes.
