Popcorn Cupcakes
Get ready and cosy for your next movie night with these stunning Popcorn Cupcakes! They’re a little tedious to do than a regular cupcake, but the result is super delicious! 🍿
Here’s What You’ll Need (Makes 12)
Here’s a cheeky tip: Instead of purchasing all the cupcake ingredients, you can skip straight to the fun part by buying a pack of your favourite ready-made cupcakes, or a pack of cupcake mix from your local supermarket!
For the cupcakes:
- 125g caster sugar
- 125g butter or margarine, softened
- 125g self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 12 Cupcake Cases
To create the topping:
- 400g Vanilla Frosting
- Cake Décor Mini Marshmallows
- Cake Décor Cake Pens
- Cake Décor Gold Glitter Spray
Here's What You'll Do:
Bake Your Cupcakes:
- Whisk together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Sift in the flour, add the eggs and beat everything together.
- Pop your cupcake cases into a cupcake tray. Using a large tablespoon, fill each cupcake case half full with your delicious mixture.
- Place in the oven and bake at 180C for 20 minutes (You’ll know they’re fully baked when you insert a wooden skewer and it comes out clean). When finished, remove from the oven and leave to completely cool.
Decorate:
- Pop your Vanilla Frosting in a piping bag with a nozzle attached to it and pipe it over each of your cupcakes (for best results, follow step 2 straight after one cupcake at a time as the frosting may harden fast).
- Take your White Mini Marshmallows and, using a pair of scissors, cut one tip of the Mini Marshmallow horizontally and vertically to mimic a popped popcorn. Take a Yellow Cake Pen and colour it a bit to give it a popcorn colour and place it on your frosted cupcake. Repeat this process till the entire frosted cupcake is covered. Do this for all your cupcakes.
- Finally, using your Gold Glitter Spray, spray each cupcake to add a little glow and shine and enjoy!
