There’s nothing quite like sitting down to a nice, big piece of cake but sometimes, it can be just as enjoyable to have a cake in miniature version. Of course, I’m talking about cupcakes and they are a fantastic way to share something sweet. When you make cupcakes the right way, it is more than simply a delicious sweet treat, it is an experience to be remembered.
Although you have many options when it comes to cupcakes, this is a treat that you will want to share with your family. It is for unicorn cone cupcakes and they are perhaps the perfect cupcake, because they are so much fun to eat. Not only are they enjoyable to eat, the colors really help to set them off as something special. Be sure to make these for your family today.
Ingredients:
For cupcakes:
1 package white cake mix
1 cup water
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Red, yellow and green food coloring
For frosting:
2 sticks (1 cup) of butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Red, green, yellow food coloring
Directions:
For cupcakes:
Combine your cake mix, water, eggs and oil into a bowl and mix until together. Then add into an electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium.
Now separate your cake batter into three bowls for three colors
Add red, yellow and green food coloring separately to each bowl
Set your ice cream cones into a cupcake/muffin tin
Alternate batter colors into each cone until you have about 1 inch room left from top
Now add your cupcake in the oven, taking care not to spill. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick comes out clean, which is anywhere from 20-25 minutes
Cool completely before decorating
For frosting:
Add your butter into your mixer on medium until it’s fluffy. Then add your vanilla, milk, and sugar.
Mix together on low until it’s all together
Separate your frosting into different bowls and tint the colors you are going for.
Fill your 3 piping bags and cut off tip of each one.
Attach a circle tip #1A to a separate bag with a coupler on the end and cut.
Put 3 bags of colored frosting inside the coupler bag with the coupler so that the tip of each bag is in the circle tip, creating one frosting bag
