How To Make Cauldron Cupcakes
First bake your cupcakes. Use my crimson velvet cake recipe, a boxed combine. Otherwise you don’t even have to make use of crimson velvet, you possibly can make vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes! No matter you favor.
If you wish to make mini cupcakes, right here’s the mini cupcake pan I exploit.
Subsequent make some frosting. I all the time use my favourite vanilla buttercream recipe as a result of it’s scrumptious and makes the proper quantity.
Take out one cup of the frosting and save that for later. Then divide the remaining frosting in half. Shade half yellow and half orange.
Then utilizing a piping bag, put about 1 cup of the yellow on one aspect of the bag and the identical quantity of orange on the opposite. Having the colours combine is completely high-quality, you need it to seem like a hearth! I used a Wilton 1M tip on my bag.
You’ll have to refill the piping bag once you run out, and simply do it the identical approach as the primary time. You’ll have to refill the piping bag as you go.
Swirl the frosting onto every cupcake to seem like fireplace!
Now, with the reserved frosting, tint it inexperienced and fill one other piping bag with the inexperienced frosting that I fitted with a Wilton #12 tip, however any medium spherical tip will likely be high-quality!
Subsequent seize some mini peanut butter cups and pipe on some frosting like this…kinda messy, to seem like bubbly witches brew! They promote the mini unwrapped peanut butter cups, that are tremendous handy in case you’re making mini cupcakes, in any other case use “miniature” peanut butter cups. You have to to unwrap these as a result of so far as I do know they don’t come unwrapped.
To make a little bit “spoon” or “wand” for the cauldrons I grabbed some black sweet melts or chocolate chips and melted them in a microwave secure bowl I transferred that to a zip-top bag with the nook snipped off and piped little stripes onto parchment paper. You can use black licorice too!
Let the chocolate arrange and gently peel the chocolate from the parchment and place it within the inexperienced frosting within the “cauldron”. Now you simply want a witch to stir the effervescent cauldrons!
