How To Make Cauldron Cupcakes

First bake your cupcakes. Use my red velvet cake recipe, a boxed combine. Otherwise you don’t even have to make use of pink velvet, you possibly can make vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes! No matter you like.

If you wish to make mini cupcakes, here’s the mini cupcake pan I use.

Subsequent make some frosting. I at all times use my favourite vanilla buttercream recipe as a result of it’s scrumptious and makes the right 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 facet of the bag and the identical quantity of orange on the opposite. Having the colours combine is completely wonderful, you need it to appear like a fireplace! I used a Wilton 1M tip on my bag.

You’ll have to refill the piping bag while you run out, and simply do it the identical means as the primary time.  You’ll have to refill the piping bag as you go.

Swirl the frosting onto every cupcake to appear 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 can be wonderful!

Subsequent seize some mini peanut butter cups and pipe on some frosting like this…kinda messy, to appear like bubbly witches brew! They promote the mini unwrapped peanut butter cups, that are tremendous handy if you happen to’re making mini cupcakes, in any other case use “miniature” peanut butter cups. You’ll need to unwrap these as a result of so far as I do know they don’t come unwrapped.

To make just a little “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 might 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!
